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

DelBene's Ballotpedia page had no 2026 campaign-themes text, so her priorities and positions come from her official House issues page, which is not dated to this cycle specifically. Silva's positions are drawn from her 2026 Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey, which includes claims about foreign intelligence involvement in 9/11 that are reported here as her stated views, not verified facts. Silva has no official or news biography beyond her Ballotpedia pages, so her biography relies on her own survey responses; no campaign website URL was recorded for her.
