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

Larsen's Ballotpedia page had no 2026 campaign-themes section and his priorities/positions are limited to committee assignments and general-election news coverage. Feller has not completed a Candidate Connection survey and has little public footprint beyond his campaign website's issue list; researchDepth is minimal for him. Feller's campaign website URL was not found on his Ballotpedia page, so his biography relies on local news profiles and he has no listed website.
