R primary candidate for U.S. House VA-07 (Stafford/Spotsylvania/Culpeper); 2x prior R nominee NJ-12 (2022 + 2024, lost both); recently relocated to Stafford VA. CORRECTION: Career is auto-industry + small-business turnaround, NOT 'talent manager.' [2026-06 RESOLUTE refinement, federal tier — national autopilot] Scored on the social-media + prior-campaign protocol: current VA platform page is heavy on border/economy/law-and-order but conspicuously silent on the social cells; prior cited NJ-12 record (2024 iVoterGuide candidate questionnaire + 2024 iSideWith candidate profile) fills the social column with explicit self-statements. HARD TRUEs from cited self-statements: pro-life (defund PP/Title X per 2024 iVoterGuide; received 2022 National Right to Life Committee support) → sanctity q0/q1; traditional marriage / 'mother-and-father structure best' + opposes minor gender transitions + opposes trans athletes in women's sports → biblical_marriage q0/q2/q4; supports businesses refusing service on religious grounds + churches refusing same-sex ceremonies → christian_liberty q1; strong 2A, opposes new gun restrictions → self_defense q1; pro-completion of border wall + opposes services for undocumented + opposes birthright citizenship → border_immigration q0/q1/q4; opposes Ukraine military aid (per 2024 iSideWith) → foreign_policy_restraint q1 (forever wars / disengagement direction); supports voter photo ID + questions 2020 election fairness → election_integrity q1; supports drilling + ANWR + nuclear + Paris withdrawal → on the R-aligned column but does not map directly to the rubric cells (economic stewardship cells stay null absent CBDC/sound-money/balanced-budget specifics). NO MAJOR 2026 ENDORSEMENTS found (no Trump, no SBA, no NRA, no Heritage Action, no Club for Growth, no FreedomWorks). NO AIPAC tracker hit → q3 null (not affirmative TRUE absent verification). NO EVIDENCE FOUND on CBDC, sound money, balanced-budget amendment, embryonic stem cell, no-fault divorce reform, age verification on porn, faith-based adoption, public-square Christian symbols, foreign-aid restrictions to hostile/Christian-persecuting nations specifically, WHO/UN/NATO withdrawal, pharma mandates / liability shield / Big Ag / raw milk / defense-contractor accountability — all null.

Category Breakdown

Candidate affirms life begins at conception and personhood from conception
TRUE (+2)[1,2]
1 claim
  1. Has publicly declared that 'abortion is unconstitutional,' rejecting abortion access as a matter of constitutional law and affirming the unborn's right to life from conception. He has additionally stated that abortion providers — including Planned Parenthood — should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments. Mayfield, a small-business owner and two-time Republican congressional nominee (NJ-12 2020 and 2022, VA-07 2026), has held this position consistently across multiple campaigns, placing him in alignment with the rubric's life-at-conception and anti-abortion-industry-funding standard.
