Where they stand

There is a donor-based score from their 2018 campaign for sheriff, but it rests on only 5 donors, too few to place Phil Sims reliably (we need at least 20).

We place candidates only from a published academic score (from a voting record or campaign donors) or from enough of their own statements on policy, and we haven't found either for Phil Sims that we can reliably source yet.
