Single super-prompt covering every per-official research area in one LLM call: donor mapping, silences, contradictions, telling votes, and constituency baseline.

"evidence_summary": "Bentz held four in-person town halls in February 2025 (Pendleton, La Grande, Boardman, Baker City) then abruptly stopped. After the NRCC advised members to avoid in-person town halls, he shifted to telephone town halls and small-group gatherings. In August 2025, he addressed the Rotary Club in The Dalles — a private event with a 60-person maximum — while protesters gathered outside chanting 'Where's the town hall meeting Cliff?' and 'Face your voters!' A constituent noted Bentz hadn't held a town hall in The Dalles in three years. On September 5, 2025, Bentz formally announced he would no longer hold in-person town halls, citing 'hostile behavior from activists' and 'disruptive tactics.' He defended the shift in media interviews, telling OPB: 'Is it important that I spend time with them? If it's productive... yes. If it's for people to engage in shouting matches, then no.' Constituents called the telephone town halls 'overly scripted, with curated questions and little chance to participate.'",

Median household income is $67,259 with a poverty rate ranging from 9.3% (LegisLetter) to 13.8% (Data USA).

The economy is anchored by forestry and timber, agriculture and livestock, healthcare, and tribal enterprises. Approximately 40% of district residents are enrolled in the Oregon Health Plan (Medicaid), compared to roughly 25% statewide. The district is heavily Republican (R+32 Cook PVI via LegisLetter) and voted overwhelmingly for Trump. Bentz has represented the district since 2021.
