Every answer that counted (9)
The question wording is Citizens Count’s. The “aligned answer” column is the answer a DSA-aligned candidate would give, taken from the plank named beside it. Anything Tanya Rich wrote under an answer is quoted in full, unedited. On one question the sentence Tanya Rich wrote under the box settles the answer differently from the box itself, and the score goes with what they wrote, not the box. Those rows show both, and say why.

| School district tax cap mandateShould state law cap how much local school districts can increase their budget each year?Grow the State Budget · Economic Democracy"I support HB1300. It puts the school tax cap question to a vote at the general election, where far more people turn out - and it takes a 3/5 majority to pass."Ticked Against, scored as For. The question asks whether state law should cap how much a school district's budget can grow each year. HB 1300 is that state law: signed 15 July 2026, it puts a school district tax cap question on every town and ward's ballot in November 2026 and 2028, and a 3/5 vote adopts the cap. She names the bill and says she supports it. The box says Against because she wants the cap adopted by local vote rather than imposed outright, but that is a preference about the mechanism, not opposition to the cap. A candidate who backs the state's school tax cap law is for the cap. | Forticked Against | Against | Not aligned |

This has been a hard one to write into law without causing more problems. I'd want to see a version that actually works, not just one that sounds good on paper." | For | Against | Not aligned |

Read, and deliberately not counted (2)
Tanya Rich ticked "Other" or "Undecided" on these and wrote a sentence underneath that leans one way without settling it. Getting from what they wrote to a For or an Against takes a chain of reasoning, and a chain of reasoning is not a position somebody took. None of these are in the score. They are printed so the reader can check the line we drew, instead of taking on trust that one was drawn at all.
- Fund the Office of the Child AdvocateTicked Other, not counted
“I'd support restoring its funding if it's genuinely doing that watchdog job - not functioning as a platform for other agendas.”
A yes with a condition attached is not a yes. Whether the office is 'genuinely doing that watchdog job' is a judgement she reserves for later, and the answer turns on it. Unsettled. Not counted.
- Majority of public school funding through local property taxesTicked Other, not counted
“I don't think a town's own tax dollars should be redistributed to other towns just because their property values are higher - that money belongs to the people who paid it. I'd rather see relief through spending discipline here at home, not new taxes or handing local money over to the state to redistribute.”
She rejects every alternative to the current split: no court-ordered state spending, no new taxes, no state redistribution of local money. Read together that defends paying for schools mostly from local property tax, which is the current system, and it is the opposite of the aligned answer. But she also calls property taxes too high and never says she supports the system itself, so getting to a For takes a step she did not take. Leans For. Not counted.
