The candidates, side by side

Each topic shows every candidate's own words on it, in alphabetical order, from their own website. "Nothing on this topic" means their site doesn't cover it. Topic rows are grouped by us from their headings; the scores don't change.

Who they are

Tony D'Arrigo

Candidate from Largo, by the address on his site. His policy content sits on the Home page and on The Facts page; both are scored.

Leela Gray

Retired Army brigadier general, lawyer and small business leader, by her own account. Her Issues page is six agenda tiles; each opens a page with its own sub-headings, and each sub-heading is scored as one issue.

Anna Paulina Luna

Her site calls her a sitting member of Congress: "I also happen to be one of the youngest members of Congress."³ It has no issues page. Working for You is one list of past actions under one banner heading, so it is scored as one issue. The list gives both a 3% and a 2% cap on student-loan interest, and the page is saved under the name copy-of-meet-anna, so it may be a duplicated draft; scored as posted.

The middle

Where they agree

All three say Social Security should grow or stay protected. Luna lists "Co-sponsored legislation to eliminate taxes on seniors' Social Security benefits."² Gray says "We must protect and strengthen Social Security and Medicare to ensure every senior can age with dignity."⁹ D'Arrigo says "I WILL FIGHT TO INCREASE SOCIAL SECURITY and ENTITLEMENTS."¹³
Luna and Gray both back a ban on stock trading by officials. Luna lists "Forced and passed a vote to BAN insider trading."² Gray writes "We must ban officials from buying and selling individual stocks while in office".⁷
Luna and Gray both name care for veterans. Luna lists "Co-sponsored legislation to expand care for military veterans who are seeking mental health or substance abuse treatments."² Gray lists "Increase and improve access to mental health services".⁵

Where they really split

Corporate home buying: Gray would "give families, nonprofits, and local governments the first chance to buy available homes".⁶ D'Arrigo would set "A maximum of 25% of all residential properties in each county can be held for investment and rental purposes."¹²
Taxes: Luna lists "Voted to SECURE NO TAX on tips, social security, and overtime."² Gray wants "a tax code that asks the wealthiest to pay their fair share".⁶ D'Arrigo promises "a bill to eliminate federal income tax for every household earning under $75,000 per year."¹³
Health care: Gray would "restore the ACA tax credits Luna allowed to expire".⁶ D'Arrigo backs "Guaranteed Coverage for All" and "a major expansion of Healthcare.gov".¹³ Luna's page names no health-insurance policy.²

What each one leaves out

Luna's site has no issues page. Her Working for You list is past actions, with no plan for a next term, no cost for any bill and no timeline.²
Gray spells out how on 2 of 24 issues, one a veterans bill and one the stock-trading ban, and gives a funding source on none and a deadline on none.^{5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
D'Arrigo spells out how on 9 of 26 issues, with numbers on several, and names a funding source on three, but gives no deadline for any of them and no estimate of what his proposals cost in total.^{12, 13}
