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.

- Make the tax break permanent or expand it
- Keep it as passed, with its current limits and end date
- Let it end, or replace it with tax relief not tied to tips or overtime

§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.
