About these profiles
Every candidate gets the same fields. Websites are shown only when they load and name the candidate (202 of 336 so far); photos only when freely licensed (15); stated positions only from the candidate’s own website or an official voters’ pamphlet (28). Anything else says “No website found” or “Not yet compiled”. Campaign finance is not compiled; each profile links Connecticut’s official campaign-finance search. SaveYourState is not an official source: confirm your ballot with your election office.
