Inventory completeness is not policy-audit completeness. Missing evidence is unscored. Party platforms are not imputed to individuals.

Position and record comparison

John Sununu foregrounds fiscal restraint and lower taxes; reporting distinguishes his tariff concerns and war-authorization discussion from other Republican primary candidates. Chris Pappas’s congressional record and campaign provide leads on healthcare, retirement, and economic policy. Scott Brown is not the November nominee.

US Populists assessment

A fiscal-hawk label is not a scored budget. Compare retirement reform proposals with O04, actual coverage mechanisms with P03–P05, and military authority with the charter. Do not import another primary candidate’s statements into Sununu’s profile.
