Graded on 1 sourced actionThin record
FEC-recorded money between Second Amendment committees and this candidate, and recorded floor votes on gun bills, each with its official source. Community sentiment below never moves this grade.
This letter rests on a thin record. The grade math already pulls a light record toward the middle, but one action is still far less to go on than a full voting history. Read it as a first data point, not a settled verdict. Know of something sourced that belongs here? Add it to the record.
