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
No detailed biography or Candidate Connection survey was found for Frederick Haynes on Ballotpedia; his priorities and statements are drawn from his campaign issues page (sections open on click). No campaign-site statement squarely taking a side on the guide's issue statements (for example abortion, guns, immigration enforcement, the minimum wage or school choice) was found, so no positions are recorded for him. Everett Jackson has no Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey; his campaign site (jacksonfortexas.com) was read in a headless browser. It has a short issues page with one statement on an issue in this guide (energy) and no positions on abortion, guns, immigration enforcement or the other guide issues, so his entry stays minimal. No Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey was found for Frederick Haynes; his biography draws on his campaign website, news coverage and reference pages, and his priorities and positions on his campaign website. Everett Jackson's education, employment and residence could not be found in a loadable source; his campaign site did not render.
