VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Gomez publicly criticized Trump for crypto profiteering while accepting $511,000 in crypto industry outside spending and voting for at least four pro-crypto bills. The Intercept noted this contradiction: 'More recently, however, Gomez criticized Trump for profiting from crypto' despite being a top beneficiary of crypto PAC spending.

VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: platform_vs_vote
Gomez's signature anti-corruption pledge to reject corporate PAC money is contradicted by his acceptance of $712,715 in PAC contributions (47.46% of his 2024 cycle fundraising). His campaign defends the distinction by arguing that trade association and labor PACs are not 'corporate PACs' — a definitional distinction that FEC rules do not formally recognize.

VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: same_source_inconsistency
Both quotes come from the same secondary source (The Intercept). Gomez called Netanyahu 'an impediment to peace' while simultaneously voting for $26 billion in military aid to Israel and declining to sign the early ceasefire resolution — a tension The Intercept identified in its reporting.
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.
