About red flags

These are Voter Choice's editorial choices, not a finding about any person. We flag: stock trading while in office, absences, money's influence in politics, and reported misuse of power or public funds. State and local items may come from local news, which can lean partisan. Take with a grain of salt. The judgment is yours.

Based on current data. May change in a future update.
