Integrity
Not yet ratedNo promises have been rated yet, so there is no Integrity Score to show. Lifecycle promises (in progress, not yet rated) are tracked but never scored.
The score, once promises are rated, is a signed −100…+100 breakdown weighted by significance and evidence confidence — never a single opaque grade. How this is measured.

Disclosure
A separate measure from the promise scorecard above. It tracks confirmed cases where this official has acted on or championed an issue that already existed when they ran, but which they did not disclose as a priority in their campaign. Each case meets a high evidence bar — three independent sources — and the score is shown alongside the Integrity Score, never merged into it. How this is measured.
No undisclosed priorities on record. This is not a clean-audit claim — it means none have been confirmed for this official.
