Muted rows are campaigns not on the November ballot; their money is still their own filed record. A hollow row is a candidate with no finance report on file yet, not one who raised nothing. Also on the ballot with no FEC filing, so no row: Chad Humphrey.
Spending to support them
$471K- Justice Democrats PAC$306K

How these directions are decided
Independent expenditures reported to the FEC. 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.

Record in office
Kiros 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.
