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.

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.
