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

Stuski's campaign site discusses several issue areas (food safety, a Pennsylvania regulation, education) in blog posts, but does not state clear stances on any of the guide's fixed issue keys, so no positions are documented for her. Federal key votes and FEC totals for Dean are added separately by script. Issue pages on foreign policy, law enforcement and a platform outline added as statements; no clear stance on the guide's issues beyond these. Dean's official biography says she was raised in Glenside, while Ballotpedia lists Philadelphia as her birthplace; the biography above states only the raised-in detail. Stuski's biography is drawn from her own campaign website; no independent news profile was reviewed.
