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

Sen. Cynthia Lummis is not seeking re-election in 2026, making this an open seat. Since Rep. Hageman is not the incumbent for this Senate seat, federal key votes and FEC totals for her current House seat may not directly reflect a Senate record; those figures are added separately by script where applicable. Biography gaps: Hageman has not completed a 2026 Ballotpedia survey; her campaign site was not loaded, so her House biography and Ballotpedia were used.
