2025

2025-01-03 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Franklin publicly defends cutting 80,000 VA jobs as not impacting veteran care, while his official platform emphasizes commitment to veterans and he serves on the Veterans Affairs subcommittee. Veterans groups have warned these cuts threaten services.

2023

2023-06-13 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: position_evolution
Franklin voted against the broad $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package but later championed targeted federal disaster relief and infrastructure grants for Florida citrus growers — pursuing the same kinds of federal investment for his district that the larger bill would have funded more systematically.

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.
