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.

In their own words

What McBride's campaign says it would work on.

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

  • “Values That Define Leadership”
  • “Values”
  • “Commitment”
  • “Truth”
  • “Health Care”
  • “Safer Communities”
  • “Agriculture”
  • “Economy”
  • “Youth”
  • “Liberty”
  • “California Republican Assembly (Cra)”

Quoted from johnmcbride4congress.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

McBride 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.
