- On the ballot 0 entries
- Where they stand 7 entries Seven positions, every one a paraphrase of a platform item with the link that states it. The archive records her platform as bullet points rather than as sentences she spoke; her own words are in the claims section.
- What they have said, checked 3 entries Three of the eight rows in the research archive's fact-check table are published. Five are left out: four because the archive states the claim in its own words rather than hers, and one because it is a claim made about her by anonymous social-media accounts rather than by a speaker with a record here. Checked: The research archive's 2024 fact-check pass (PolitiFact and FactCheck.org)

- Polling and approval 4 entries Favorability and job-approval readings from named pollsters. Polling averages and forecast models are not polls and are not published, which is most of what the archive's sentiment section holds for her.
- Elections 1 entry Only her 2024 candidacy is published. Her California elections are outside the scope of an Ohio site's race records.
- Endorsements given None found in the records checked The research archive's 2024 file records no endorsement she gave and none she received, beyond Joe Biden's, which it states without a link of its own. Checked: The research archive's 2024 candidate file
