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