About
Sources
Every claim on a candidate or office page traces back to a labeled source bucket. Here is what each one means in practice.
Secretary of State candidate filings and county elections office records — the legal record of who is on the ballot, for which race, under which party label (if any), and where their official campaign filings are listed.
County and municipal election offices provide the source of truth for precinct maps, polling places, early voting windows, and registration deadlines. Voters should always confirm dates with their own local authority — those rules can change late.
When a campaign maintains an official website, we cite it directly for bios, priorities, and policy positions. Linking does not imply endorsement; it simply tells you where a statement came from.
Statements made in candidate forums, public meetings, official press releases, or filings with election authorities. Each public-statement source carries a citation to the original record.
When a candidate has a verified official social account (currently X), we embed the public timeline and label it clearly. We do not scrape, summarize, or curate posts — voters see the official feed exactly as the candidate publishes it.
Bios, priorities, and questionnaire answers submitted through a claimed profile. These pass an editorial neutrality check before publishing and are always labeled 'Candidate-submitted'.
State constitutions and codes, county charters, municipal codes, and similar statutes for what each office can and cannot directly do. Each authority cell on an Office Explainer links to the underlying source.
