Where they stand

Strongly left, AI estimate from their own website (82% confidence).

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

82% 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
