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

Jackson's house.gov issues and press-release pages render via JavaScript and did not return readable text, so his stated positions on specific issues could not be confirmed beyond his committee assignments; detailed floor votes and FEC totals are added separately. Nair's campaign website also renders via JavaScript; his background and positions come from his Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey. Nair's years on the Amarillo City Council were not found in a source we could load.
