Inventory completeness is not policy-audit completeness. Missing evidence is unscored. Party platforms are not imputed to individuals.
Position and record comparison
Wes Moore emphasizes child poverty, middle-class opportunity, education, and public safety; these remain campaign claims unless tied to outcomes. Dan Cox did not answer the reviewed Republican primary questionnaire. Andy Ellis is the Green candidate.
US Populists assessment
Verify Moore’s state budget and measured results, separating trend from causation. Cox’s questionnaire silence leaves a gap rather than proving opposition to services. Ellis needs an individual state-policy review. Maryland’s exposure to federal employment and infrastructure disruption requires state-specific evidence.
