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

Per the research brief, Suozzi's federal floor votes and FEC finance totals are added separately by script and are not included here. LiPetri has not completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey; his general positions above are drawn from his campaign website's issues page as quoted by Ballotpedia. His guns and abortion positions are derived from his recorded 2019 Assembly floor votes (nyassembly.gov), per the office-votes research brief. LiPetri's campaign website could not be used for his biography, so his biography relies on Ballotpedia, Wikipedia and news; Suozzi's campaign bio is the source for his private-sector and committee details.
