Events and recordings

Debates and official candidate media

Event records require dated source evidence and named participants. Candidate-provided City Clerk statements stay separate from debates and are never treated as government findings.

The City Clerk occupational designation and exact campaign biography excerpts stay visibly separate. Each published background claim links to its original source.

Inventory, never a score

Audit each campaign's endorsement directory

Counts describe what each campaign page publishes. They are not comparable measures of support because campaigns group, select, and update endorsements differently.
