§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.
Health Care
Her campaign website says she will work to ensure access to quality, affordable healthcare for all, citing the cost of insurance premiums for businesses and the difficulty families face finding affordable mental health services.5
Economy, Jobs and Trade
Technology, Privacy and AI
Her campaign website says she will bring both parties together to ensure the future of artificial intelligence is a job creator rather than a job killer, with protections for the workers and families it is supposed to benefit.5
Her campaign website says she will champion legislation to protect the privacy of people online, especially young people, so that technology companies cannot endlessly mine users' personal data.5
Foreign Policy and Defense
Her campaign website says she will work across party lines to end the war with Iran and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.5
§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.
Reported to the Federal Election Commission for the 2025–2026 election cycle, through October 14, 2026.7

Where the money came from
Outside spending
Groups spending independently reported $0 supporting and $365,274 opposing Katy Tyndell this cycle, primary and general combined, in the 24- and 48-hour reports the law requires for larger expenditures, filed through October 23, 2026.8
| Group | Supporting | Opposing |
|---|---|---|
| AMERICANS FOR AN EFFICIENT GOVERNMENT PAC | — | $365,274 |
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.
