How to read this. The stance reflects the platform's key recorded votes only, currently at most two in the House and one in the Senate, so it is a narrow measure by design; the bills-backed count is the breadth measure, and the two can point in different directions. Which votes count and what the platform position is are published editorial judgments; the underlying records are official. Cosponsorship is shown as support and never counts against anyone. Each mark is ask-level: backing one bill here means backing that specific ask, not endorsing the platform, and opposing one ask doesn't erase agreement on the others. A mixed record is expected and shown as-is. See where each pillar is heading and how it’s measured on the Outcomes page. Records are shown alongside national outcomes - many factors move those trends; this is not a claim that one caused the other. Official records as of 2026-07-19.
