Voter guide

The candidates, side by side

Goals come from each campaign's own platform. Record lines are official actions.

How this guide is built

Background comes from government or official office records, and from the campaign's own biography where the bullet says so. Goals are summarized from each campaign's own platform page and stay attributed to the campaign. The record lines are official votes, sponsorships, and filings with the government source attached. Money is shown as filed, by the type the FEC records for the contributing committee, and is not evidence of why any position was taken. Money rows are itemized receipts from political committees; transfers from joint fundraising committees and the conduit entries for earmarked individual contributions sit on their own rows; other memo entries, reimbursements, and receipts from organizations that are not political committees are excluded; each candidate's note gives the filings it covers, and some notes also compare the rows with the campaign's own FEC summary.

Issue comparison

What each campaign says

Each campaign's own positions, not promises The Stated Record has verified or endorsed.

Health care costs

Taylor's campaign backs restoring lapsed ACA credits and hospital funding, more Medicare drug price bargaining, ending surprise bills and protecting Social Security and Medicare. Wittman's campaign backs lower costs, price transparency, insurer and drug-middleman accountability and pre-existing condition protections. On the record, he was among 17 Republicans voting to extend the credits; the Senate has not voted. He signed 2025 letters to protect Medicaid, then voted for H.R. 1, whose Medicaid changes were not checked.

What each campaign says

Shannon L. Taylor

Would restore the Affordable Care Act tax credits that lapsed, restore hospital funding, expand Medicare's power to negotiate drug prices, end surprise billing, and protect Social Security and Medicare.

Robert J. "Rob" Wittman

Wants lower costs, price transparency, accountability for insurers and drug middlemen, and protection for people with pre-existing conditions. Says he voted to extend the enhanced ACA tax credits and backed the $50 billion Rural Health Transformation Program.

Ethics and how Congress works

Taylor's campaign backs banning members' stock trading and lobbying, term limits and jail for stealing public money, and pledges no corporate PAC money. Wittman's campaign cites his budget-deadline bills and votes for a stock trading bill and pay freezes. Taylor's filings through July 15, 2026 show no PAC money the FEC ties to a corporation. Wittman voted for the stock bill, not law, and spending laws that froze pay; his deadline bills never left committee.

What each campaign says

Shannon L. Taylor

Would ban stock trading by members of Congress, bar members from ever lobbying, require at least a year in jail for any member who steals $10,000 in public money, and set 12-year term limits she says she will follow herself. Pledges to take no corporate PAC money.

Robert J. "Rob" Wittman

Has introduced bills to stop members' pay when Congress misses budget deadlines and to keep the House in session until spending bills pass. Says he voted for the Stop Insider Trading Act and to freeze members' pay.

Taxes and the cost of living

Taylor's campaign backs tax cuts for working families and small businesses, not the wealthy, and curbing tariffs and wars she says raise prices. Wittman's campaign says he backed the child tax credit, a $31,500 family deduction and no tax on tips or overtime. He voted for the 2017 and 2025 laws behind these; tip and overtime breaks end after 2028. His 529 job-credential bill stayed in committee, but its text is in the 2025 law.

What each campaign says

Shannon L. Taylor

Would cut taxes for working families and small businesses rather than the wealthy, and rein in tariffs and wars she says are raising prices.

Robert J. "Rob" Wittman

Wants lower costs and lower taxes. Says he supported the child tax credit, a $31,500 standard deduction for families, and no tax on tips and overtime.

Energy and utility bills

Taylor's campaign says she opposed utility rate hikes and wants new data centers barred from raising family bills. Wittman's campaign backs all energy sources and says big new power users, not families, should pay for serving them. He voted for the Ratepayer Protection Act, which sets a standard regulators must consider, not adopt; the Senate did not take it up. He voted for a 2024 nuclear licensing law; his 2023 reactor bill never left committee.

What each campaign says

Shannon L. Taylor

Says she has opposed proposed utility price hikes in Virginia, and calls for a law that new data centers must not raise families' energy costs.

Robert J. "Rob" Wittman

Backs all forms of energy, from nuclear and gas to wind and solar. Says large new power users, not families, should carry the cost of serving them.

Crime and public safety

Taylor's campaign cites her record as Henrico's prosecutor and backs laws against drugs like fentanyl and support for police. Wittman's campaign backs border enforcement, action on cartels and fentanyl, help for local police and the Laken Riley Act. On the record, Henrico Police counted 22 homicides in 2024 and 3 in 2025, an 86% drop in the count; the report does not measure her role. Taylor won the office in 2011 and three more times.

What each campaign says

Shannon L. Taylor

Points to her record as Henrico's prosecutor. In Congress she would pass laws to get drugs like fentanyl off the streets and support law enforcement.

Robert J. "Rob" Wittman

Wants border enforcement, action against cartels and fentanyl, and resources for local police. Says he supported the Laken Riley Act; he voted Yea on it in January 2025.

The Chesapeake Bay

Taylor's campaign lists no position on this topic on the pages checked. Wittman's campaign says he worked across the aisle on the Bay and helped lead the MAWS Act against invasive blue catfish. On the record, he cosponsored Sarah Elfreth's catfish bill and moved it on the House floor, where it passed; the Senate has not acted. A 2020 Bay law's fish habitat section closely follows his 2019 bill; no roll call shows his vote.

What each campaign says

Shannon L. Taylor

No position on the Chesapeake Bay or the environment is stated on any of the three pages of her site that carry policy: home, priorities and agenda.

Robert J. "Rob" Wittman

Says he worked across the aisle to restore the Bay, its wetlands and fisheries, and helped lead the MAWS Act against invasive blue catfish.

Words and record

Where statements meet official action

Each card sets one thing a candidate says beside their own official record, with one label from a fixed list and its limit. No card says why someone did something.

How the cards work

The number of cards varies with what each candidate's official record supports, and every card carries the same required parts: what they say, what the official record shows, one label from the fixed list, and its limit. Each card is labeled narrowly, by rule. A single vote, sponsorship, or filing can match one claim without proving a candidate's whole record.

Shannon L. Taylor

No corporate PAC money

Matches stated record claim

What they say

Her agenda pledges never to take corporate PAC money, as a candidate or as a member of Congress.

What the record shows · Jul 15, 2026

Her filings through July 15, 2026 show $341,794.70 from other committees, none the FEC ties to a corporation; her 2025 run for attorney general reported $800,000 from Dominion Energy's PAC.

What they say

Her agenda pledges never to take corporate PAC money, as a candidate or as a member of Congress.

“I pledge never to take a dime from corporate PACs, as a candidate for Congress or as a member of Congress.”

What the record shows · Jul 15, 2026

Her committee's filings through July 15, 2026 list $341,794.70 from other political committees on line 11C. None of those committees is one the FEC records as connected to a corporation. The money came from members' leadership PACs, other candidates' campaigns, labor unions' PACs, membership groups' PACs and unconnected PACs.

Limit: This covers filings through July 15, 2026, and relies on the FEC's label for each committee. Leadership PACs and joint fundraising committees that gave to her can take corporate PAC money themselves. The pledge is about her run for Congress: her 2025 state campaign for attorney general reported $800,000 from Dominion Energy's Virginia PAC.

What the record shows · Jul 3, 2025

He signed an April 14, 2025 letter to House leaders with 11 other members, saying they would not support a final bill with any reduction in Medicaid coverage for vulnerable people. On June 24, 2025 he and 15 others asked House and Senate leaders to keep the House bill's Medicaid terms rather than a Senate proposal. His House office posted both letters. He voted Yea on H.R. 1 on May 22, 2025 and Aye on the final version on July 3, 2025.

He says he supported doubling and locking in the child tax credit, a $31,500 standard deduction for families, and no tax on tips and overtime.

“I supported tax relief for working families, including locking in and doubling the Child Tax Credit, increasing the standard deduction to $31,500 for families, and no tax on qualifying tips and overtime.”

What the record shows · Jul 4, 2025

He voted for the 2017 tax law, which doubled the child tax credit from $1,000 to $2,000 through 2025. He voted for H.R. 1 in 2025, which made the credit permanent at $2,200, set the standard deduction at $15,750 a person ($31,500 on a joint return), and created deductions for tips and overtime.

Limit: The credit was doubled in 2017 and made permanent in 2025; he voted for both. The tip and overtime deductions end after 2028, and the law caps both. The $31,500 figure is the joint-return amount; the law prints $15,750.

“I helped write and pass bipartisan conservation legislation that strengthened Chesapeake Bay restoration, wetlands conservation, fisheries management, wildlife habitat, and locally led conservation efforts.”

What the record shows · Oct 30, 2020

America's Conservation Enhancement Act became Public Law 116-188 on October 30, 2020. It renewed the Chesapeake Bay Program and wetlands grants, started a Chesapeake watershed habitat program, and wrote a national fish habitat partnership program into law. Its fish habitat title closely follows H.R. 1747, a bill he sponsored in 2019. It also carries, with small changes, three 2019 Bay bills that Democrats sponsored and he cosponsored from the start: H.R. 1620, H.R. 2427 and H.R. 4967.

Limit: The House passed the final law by voice vote, so no roll call shows his vote. The law's Senate sponsor was John Barrasso.
