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.

Against the field for this seat

Each campaign's reported receipts on one shared scale, in ballot order, not money order.

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

  • Protect and Strengthen Social Security
  • Fund K-12 Public Education

  • Term Limits and Money Out of Politics
  • LGBTQ+ Rights Are Human Rights

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.

Candidates and financing from the FEC, public domain. Nothing here is a forecast, a grade, or a ranking of candidates.
