2016

2016-2026 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Publicly called for banning congressional stock trading while continuing to trade stocks himself through personal accounts tracked by Quiver Quantitative; no blind trust established to eliminate conflicts during his committee service on Judiciary and Education
2016-2026 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: position_evolution
Claims his Independent switch reflects consistent bipartisan approach despite nine years voting and serving as Republican with no prior Independent positioning; the switch coincides with unfavorable district redistricting rather than principle
2016-2026 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: platform_vs_disclosure
Claims Independent status to appeal to nonpartisan voters while maintaining Republican caucus arrangement that functionally gives Republicans his vote on all procedural matters; 'independent' positioning appears strategic rather than structural

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.
