§3What they've said on the issues

Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.

Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.

Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.

Crime, Policing and Prisons

Police funding

Her campaign website says she will work in Congress to provide full funding for police.3

Taxes and Budget

Taxes on tips and overtime

Her campaign website says she will work in Congress to make sure tips are never taxed.3

  1. Make the tax break permanent or expand it
  2. Keep it as passed, with its current limits and end date
  3. Let it end, or replace it with tax relief not tied to tips or overtime
Marked: the option their statement matches.

§4Money

Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.

Smaller expenditures that appear only on a group's regular monthly or quarterly report aren't in these totals, so the full amounts can be somewhat higher. When a group amends a report, only its latest version is counted.

§5Financial disclosures

Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.
