Not on the November ballot
Fortune is not on the November ballot for this seat. Luke Bronin and Amy Chai are.
A primary result is a filed fact about a contest, not a judgement about a candidate. Fortune's campaign finance and record below are still their own record, and their committee may still be filing.

Quoted from ruthfortuneforcongress.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
Fortune 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.
