Not on the November ballot

Against the field for this seat

Each campaign's reported receipts on one shared scale, incumbent first and then by name, never in money order.

Muted rows are campaigns not on the November ballot; this page's own row keeps its weight so the comparison stays readable.

The whole race

In their own words

What James's campaign says it would work on.

The priorities James's own campaign site lists, quoted as written there. They are what the campaign says. Nobody has voted on them.

“Educating for the Future”
“Smart Infrastructure”
“Jobs & Economic Growth & Community Resilience”
“Healthcare & Protecting Our Seniors”
“Protecting Our Democracy”

Quoted from chrisjamesforaz.com, read August 14, 2026. A campaign site changes; this is what it said on that date. Curia quotes these and does not check, rate or rank them.

Record in office

James does not hold a seat in Congress now, so there is no current voting record, cosponsorships or committee service to show here.

That absence is not a position for or against anything.

Candidates and financing from the FEC, public domain. Nothing here is a forecast, a grade, or a ranking of candidates.
