Issue evidence — side by side

Recorded votes, documented positions and candidates’ own words are shown with sources. “In their own words” quotes a candidate on the topic without inferring a stance. Votes describe specific bills or motions; they do not establish overall support or opposition to a broad issue. A dash means our research has no evidence on that topic, not that the candidate has no position.

Research notes & limits

Neither candidate has completed Ballotpedia's 2026 Candidate Connection survey; Mannion has no current campaign-site issues page identified, so his positions section is limited to what his official biography documents. Federal key votes and FEC totals for incumbent John Mannion are added separately by script. Pass 2 (Oct. 2026): added a police-funding position and immigration, child-care and health-coverage statements from her campaign site. Her immigration answer is quoted from a CNYCentral interview that her campaign reposted; the original CNYCentral page was not loaded.
