Made a few corrections just based on flow and grammar. Try using the present perfect when you're talking about years, so instead of "Jim operates this for 40 years" you would say "Jim has operated this for 40 years." In addition, don't use his name or pronouns in the issue section - each bulletpoint should start off with an action word. You can just say "Stated blah" if you want to say that he said something, or use a direct quote. I fixed a few redundancy and grammar issues here for you, so please look at the changes.

- You don’t need to mention their political orientation in the political background and whether or not they appeared on the ballot again. Just write what they ran for and what the result was. You also don’t need to say which district. (Ex: (NAME) ran for (POSITION) in (YEAR), but did not win. OR (NAME) currently serves as/served as (POSITION) from (YEAR) to (YEAR). They served (#) of terms, and was on (COMMISSION NAME)).
- Make sure to use the candidates first name in every section before using pronouns, and check spelling and that all the tenses match. (professional background)
- Please make sure that you are using complete sentences and the candidates first name before you move on to pronouns. (personal background)
- No need to use pronouns in the issues, just start off with action words. (Ex: Supports increased restriction of firearms.)
- When using more than one action word, create a new bulletpoint. Supports “something” would be one bulletpoint, “opposes” something would be another.
- You don’t need to use words like “seems like” or “suggesting”, just find context for any policies mentioned and don’t use opinion in your research.
