Left–right placement

Moderately right, from the giving patterns of their campaign donors (DIME campaign-finance score, Stanford). Based on the 33 donors to their 2022 campaign for state Senate. DIME doesn't name donors: it places each one by everyone they give to, then places the candidate by their donors Source
