2022

2022-10-15 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
Schultz cosponsored legislation to move toward public financing of campaigns, yet her campaign continued to accept large corporate PAC contributions, creating a gap between legislative platform and personal fundraising practice.

2016

2016-05-19 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: reversal
Wasserman Schultz voted against allowing federal non-interference with state medical marijuana in 2014, citing executive branch authority, then reversed to support VA doctor-patient marijuana discussions in 2016. Her 2014 opposition put her among only 17 Democrats voting no and aligned with her opposition to Florida's Amendment 2 medical marijuana ballot measure.

2014

2014-01-12 VOTED CONTRA
Vote contradicts: statement_vs_disclosure
In January 2014, Wasserman Schultz's spokeswoman gave contradictory statements to national press (opposing new Iran sanctions) and Florida press (supporting sanctions), reflecting tension between loyalty to the Obama White House and a heavily Jewish, pro-Israel constituency.

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.
