Score adjustments

Foreign-lobby money compromises America First. The U.S. has no formal mutual-defense treaty with Israel; AIPAC operates a super-PAC (United Democracy Project) that spent over $100M during the 2024 cycle on independent expenditures against U.S. candidates who criticize Israeli government policy. A candidate who has accepted that money has, in their own revealed preference, accepted a foreign-policy filter on their congressional vote. The same logic covers China-linked donations, where federal law also prohibits CCP members from contributing.

For every candidate with a documented donor record, two things happen: (1) the specific category question is marked False (foreign_policy_restraint[q4] for AIPAC + China; economic_stewardship[q5] — the WEF/ESG/Davos capture question — for Soros-network donors), so the per-category subscore drops by 2 points; (2) an additional dollar-bracket adjustment is applied to the total, making the penalty proportional to the magnitude of the funding. Both impacts are visible on this page.

[2026-06 RESOLUTE refinement] HETERODOX-HIGH-VALUE crossover — the genuine Adam-finds-the-crossover moment. NET: 1 HARD TRUE + 1 SOFT TRUE vs 8 HARD FALSE + 1 SOFT FALSE on 11 cite-able cells of 30 (matches existing 11-of-30 answered display); 19 NULL out-of-tier or insufficient evidence per cite-only discipline. HEADLINE: Becton is a publicly-identified, sermon-preaching, theology-teaching ORDAINED BAPTIST MINISTER (Reverend) holding M.T.S. Pacific School of Religion 2015 + preaches Sundays at Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church Richmond (husband Rev. Dr. Alvin Bernstine's pulpit) + teaches Christian + Black Theology at Allen Temple Baptist Oakland LIAT since 2015 (Prof of Theological Studies). HARD TRUE christian_liberty q0 — not a private faith: she campaigns from the pulpit and rallies from it. SOFT TRUE christian_liberty q4 — basic non-hostility test met; does NOT hide ministry, on-dais Christian identity. PAINFUL TENSION (preserve both as cited HARD facts): SAME minister rallied courthouse May 14 2022 with quotes 'Access to safe abortions is a public safety issue. I will always, proudly, stand by our right to privacy and our right to choose!' and 'A woman's right to choose is fundamental. It is non negotiable.' — HARD FALSE life q0. June 25 2022 (post-Dobbs): 'I will not pursue charges against anyone who seeks abortion in Contra Costa County — no matter what state they reside in.' Signed FJP 83-prosecutor joint statement — HARD FALSE life q1. Touted Planned Parenthood endorsement May 2022 — affirmative single-issue endorsement bloc. 5-OF-5 HARD FALSE public_justice cluster: q0 signed 2018 Brennan/FJP 'newly-elected progressive prosecutors' cohort statements; founding/early FJP-affiliated DA; Soros-network beneficiary $600K+ across cycles via Justice & Public Safety PAC; Andrew Hall conviction (former Danville deputy, Laudemer Arboleda shooting) — first Contra Costa officer convicted in on-duty shooting, took 2+ years to charge — the sword IS swung but SELECTIVELY against police. q1 stopped prosecuting low-level drug crimes; established drug diversion; juvenile diversion expansion through age 25; restrictive civil-asset-forfeiture policy; 'race-blind charging' / Vera Institute partnership 2019 — Capital B News and Davis Vanguard characterize as 'California's most progressive prosecutor' post-Pamela-Price-recall. q2 public on-record support for bail reform / cashless-bail per Death Penalty Information Center podcast. q3 April 2026 Davis Vanguard op-ed 'Punishment Alone Fails to Serve Victims, Restore Communities' — explicit reimagining-accountability framing. q4 public, on-record opposition to death penalty (DPIC podcast guest specifically on ending death penalty); resentencing initiative reduces sentences on closed cases; recall organizers cite victims'-families abandonment. SOFT FALSE biblical_marriage q4 — endorsed by Color of Change PAC / Voting While Black, ACLU-aligned PAC support. Recall died Oct 2025 (missed Sept 25 2025 signature deadline, needed 72,556 valid sigs). KEY CORRECTIONS TO PRIOR BRIEF: (1) JD = Golden Gate University School of Law NOT Pepperdine; (2) denomination = historically-Black Baptist NBC-USA orbit NOT Disciples of Christ NOT COGIC; (3) church name = Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church Richmond (husband's pulpit) + teaches at Allen Temple Baptist Oakland LIAT — no McGlothen Temple connection; (4) 2026: NOT on June 2026 ballot, next election 2028; (5) MTS Pacific School of Religion 2015 is real and confirms christian_liberty q0 HARD TRUE; (6) spouse Rev. Dr. Alvin Bernstine pastor Bethlehem MBC Richmond since 2006, married 2020. Spouse-controversy disclosure (not scored, contextual): Rev. Dr. Bernstine was named in 2022 civil suit alleging underage sexual abuse at his prior church; Becton publicly defended him — not her conduct, not scoreable, logged for public-record file. Pete Wilson 1995 judicial appointment is notable cross-party-history flag.
