Statement coverage and source review

Not published

Reason: PRIMARY_CAMPAIGN_REVIEW_COMPLETE_FOR_LISTED_PAGES_WIDER_SOURCE_SEARCH_PENDING

Initial review of nine campaign pages, all four candidate-authored Ballotpedia response panels, one iVoterGuide response-status page and a Payam Javan feature. Generic introductions, campaign appeals and opponent allegations are archived as standalone positions. The issues page calls a federal statute the Environmental Species Act and the visa program HB-1; exact source wording is retained without silently assigning a corrected statute or program identity. Ballotpedia’s automated HTTP response was empty (202); normal browser navigation and visible accordion expansion supplied the survey evidence. iVoterGuide records no answers and supplies no candidate positions. The first-person magazine feature lacks an explicit candidate byline or submission statement, so its additional claims await authorship confirmation. Campaign footer FEC-1935465 is not treated as a verified committee ID. Official contacts, election history, finance and voting data are preserved. Facebook, additional interviews and official voter-guide statements, municipal corroboration and historical sources remain pending; full source-search completion is not claimed.
