Our Mission
Democracy works best when voters understand who they're voting for—including the contradictions. This site exists to provide Nevada voters with sourced, analytical information about the three gubernatorial candidates without endorsing any of them.
We believe voters deserve to see:
- The full picture — not just campaign talking points, but actual records and actions
- The contradictions — where candidates say one thing and do another
- The money trail — who funds them and how that might influence their governance
- The steelman arguments — the strongest case for AND against each candidate, fairly presented
Our Methodology
1. Sourcing Standards
- ✓ Primary sources preferred: Official records, court documents, financial disclosures, legislative votes
- ✓ News sources for context: Used to understand events, not as sole evidence for claims
- ✓ Partisan sources labeled: When using campaign materials or party communications, clearly identified
- ✓ Links provided: Every factual claim links to its source so readers can verify
2. Fairness Standards
- ✓ Structural equality: Each candidate gets the same page structure and depth of analysis
- ✓ Contradictions for all: We identify inconsistencies for all candidates, not selectively
- ✓ Steelman approach: We present the strongest case FOR each candidate before critiquing
- ✓ Equal updates: When new information emerges, we update all relevant candidate pages
3. Analysis Standards
- ✓ Fact vs. analysis labeled: Clear distinction between objective facts and our interpretation
- ✓ Multiple interpretations: When evidence can be read different ways, we acknowledge that
- ✓ Open to correction: If we get something wrong, we'll fix it and note the correction
