Quoted from vo4congress.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
Vo has not held this office, so there is no federal voting record, no cosponsorships and no committee service to report.
That absence is not a position for or against anything; it is what a first federal campaign looks like in the public record.
Candidates and financing from the FEC, public domain. Nothing here is a forecast, a grade, or a ranking of candidates.
