How we stamped it

  • Red stamps mark jobs where a public record shows her mother created the organization, appointed its leadership, steered its funding, or employed her.
  • Gray stamps mark appointments by elected officials.
  • Blue stamps mark her record in a role, where it contradicts what she says now.
  • This page lists the roles most relevant to her campaign claims; it is not her complete résumé.
  • Dates come from her own disclosures and biographies. The records don’t show how she was chosen for any of these roles, and she may have been qualified for them.
