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

Biography: Moore's official House bio names his business as Hopper-Moore Inc. while Ballotpedia says Barry Moore Industries, so the business name is taken from the official bio; Wess's campaign-site biography is self-described and gives no birth year or birthplace, and the Ballotpedia page for Wess lists only past judicial primaries (2014, 2016).
