Left–right placement

Slightly right, from the giving patterns of their campaign donors (DIME campaign-finance score, Stanford). Based on the 98 donors to their 2016 campaign for mayor. DIME doesn't name donors: it places each one by everyone they give to, then places the candidate by their donors Source
