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; their money is still their own filed record.

The whole race

Spending to support them

$671K
  • Protect Progress$372K
    Cryptocurrency industry (Democratic-directed)
  • National Nurses United for Patient Protection$154K
  • Health Care Saves Lives$143K
  • Sonoma County Democratic Party$1.6K
  • Sierra Club Independent Action$10

Spending to oppose them

No committee has filed independent spending in this direction.

How these directions are decided

Independent expenditures reported to the FEC, through October 2, 2026. The supporting or opposing direction is each committee's own declared filing, not an interpretation, and a group spending against a candidate is not necessarily spending for their opponent. Outside money is not the campaign's money and is never added to what they raised.

In their own words

What McGuire's campaign says it would work on.

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

  • “Delivering for Northern California”
  • “Protecting Our Healthcare”
  • “Making Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share”
  • “Holding ICE Accountable”
  • “Strengthening Fire Protection”
  • “Lowering Costs for Working Families”
  • “Protecting Reproductive Freedom”
  • “Defending Democracy and Our Rights”
  • “Overturning Citizens United”
  • “Tackling the Cost of Housing”
  • “Creating Good Jobs and Investing in Rural Communities”
  • “Fighting for Climate Action”

Quoted from votemikemcguire.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

McGuire 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.
