Recent official press releases from Jeff Crank add post-May-1 evidence in both directions. They strengthen negative or low-score support for immigration-enforcement expansion, surveillance / national-security deference, and business-backed regulatory flexibility. They also add modest positive evidence for district-oriented public infrastructure and some wildfire-risk policy attention.
These sources refine category evidence and confidence. They do not currently justify moving Crank's overall structural civic score above the existing high-confidence low range.
