Only reviewed policy choices are scored. Each independent decision family counts once per measure; choices within one budget or policy package share that family’s weight. statements, promises, absences and contextual amendments do not contribute. Two decisions are the minimum for a position. The sensitivity range shows the score after removing one decision at a time; it is not a statistical confidence interval or a prediction. Positions use the vote-date range across all councils; the Voting council selector limits the agreement and disagreement sections. People may have different sets of reviewed decisions.

No sourced statements collected

This is a gap in the collected evidence; it does not establish a person’s views.

Promises and actions

No sourced commitments collected

A missing commitment is not a finding that someone made no promises.

Documented leadership

No documented leadership entries collected

Sponsorship and committee appointments require an explicit source; a Yes vote alone does not establish either.

Atkinson: youth transit proposal, September 18, 2025 · reviewed Oct 29, 2026
Why this statement was collected

Adds a specific fare-eligibility proposal, distinct from rail alignment and cycling infrastructure.

Stated position · Apr 24, 2025

Committed to a funded Ward 7 protected cycling network by 2035, coordinating construction with scheduled road and sidewalk work.

Atkinson: cycling network commitment, April 24, 2025 · reviewed Oct 29, 2026
Why this statement was collected

Adds a dated network objective with a funding and construction approach; publication precision and implementation remain separate.

Advocated an underground downtown Green Line to Eau Claire and future expansion north across the river.

Atkinson: Green Line proposal, March 31, 2025 · reviewed Oct 29, 2026
Why this statement was collected

Preserves the preferred alignment so an alignment vote is not mistaken for support or opposition to rail itself.

Stated position · Undated source

Supported flood and drought resilience, more trees, building retrofits and community renewable energy.

Atkinson: campaign priorities (undated) · reviewed Oct 29, 2026
Why this statement was collected

Adds adaptation and resilience priorities that are broader than a declaration vote or one operating allocation.

Stated position · Undated source

Proposed reducing barriers to mixed-use buildings so existing neighbourhoods can accommodate housing alongside everyday services.

Atkinson: campaign priorities (undated) · reviewed Oct 29, 2026
Why this statement was collected

Records the desired relationship between neighbourhood services and housing, without inferring a recorded vote on a particular parcel.

Stated position · Undated source

Supported non-market housing, community land trusts and a landlord licensing program to improve rental standards.

Atkinson: campaign priorities (undated) · reviewed Oct 29, 2026
Why this statement was collected

Records non-market and rental-standard proposals beyond the residential-permissions spectrum. The source’s missing date is preserved.
