What the candidates say
Seven of District of Columbia’s 19 candidates have 10 or more classified statements. Seven have 50 or more and are ranked against candidates nationwide.
An AI model reads each statement and marks the kinds of statement it contains; a candidate’s rate is the share of their statements with that label. Incumbent members of Congress are measured on everything they publish in office, everyone else on posts on X. A rate describes what was said, not whether it was right.
