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.
In their own words
What Peterson's campaign says it would work on.
The priorities Peterson's own campaign site lists, quoted as written there. They are what the campaign says. Nobody has voted on them.
- “#1 Safety & Crime Reduction”
- “#2 Affordability”
- “#3 Repair Public Education”
- “Our No’s”
- “Our Yes’s”
Quoted from christyforamerica.us, 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
Peterson 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.
