Where they stand

Strongly left, AI estimate from their own website (71% confidence).

How we got this: our AI model read their campaign site and placed Kristin Mink by the policy positions stated there. It is never told the candidate's party. The positions it found: economy, taxes & spending (strongly left); immigration (strongly left) (details under Issue by issue).

71% confidence means the positions it found mostly pointed one way. We show an AI estimate only at 70% or higher, and it's less certain than a voting record or donor score. How AI estimates work · the exact instructions it follows
