Affiliation means documented membership or endorsement, backed by a dated source. Agreeing on policy is not affiliation, and membership never fills in a candidate's positions. Constituency caucuses represent communities, not ideologies, so their membership isn't a policy position. If no relationship is shown, none has been documented yet. That doesn't prove there is none.

Five questions, each answered only from the candidate’s own words, their campaign’s published position, a joint statement they issued, or a recorded House vote.
