VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Fields serves on the Financial Services Committee that regulates securities markets while actively trading stocks with suspicious timing — buying Oracle just before a Trump executive order and Netflix just before its Warner Bros acquisition — and publicly stating he has no intention to stop. PoliScore characterized these trades as 'legal but raising fair questions' about conflicts of interest.

VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Fields campaigns on good governance and public integrity, yet was fined $2,500 by the Louisiana Board of Ethics for missing campaign finance reports, and old FBI surveillance footage shows him accepting cash from a governor later convicted of corruption — a history that complicates his present-day reformist platform.

VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: reversal
Fields now campaigns as a progressive champion of civil rights and criminal justice reform, but in 1996 he voted for IIRIRA — a law that criminal justice reform advocates consider one of the most destructive pieces of immigration legislation in American history, responsible for massively expanding mandatory detention and deportation for minor offenses.
What this view assembles
- Promises & violations — every documented commitment + each documented break, with primary sources.
- Contradiction pairs — fact-against-fact entries from the contradictions ledger; the "said" appears in its year, the "did" appears in its year.
- Vote-based analyses — for elected officials, every documented case where a vote diverged from a stated commitment.
- Entity events — major dated events recorded against the entity (acquisitions, indictments, appointments, etc.).
This view DOES NOT auto-detect new drift candidates. It surfaces records that are already on file. If you spot an undocumented inversion, the curator workflow (admin) is where to add it.
