Against the field for this seat

Each campaign's reported receipts on one shared scale, incumbent first and then by name, never in money order.

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.

The whole race

Spending to support them

$96K
  • Congress Majority PAC$42K
  • National Ground Game PAC$39K
  • The Progress Coalition$9.6K
  • Every State$5.2K
  • Activate America$564

Spending to oppose them

No committee has filed independent spending in this direction.

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.

In their own words

What Valimont's campaign says it would work on.

The priorities Valimont's own campaign site lists, quoted as written there. They are what the campaign says. Nobody has voted on them.

  • “Lower Costs & Fight Inflation”
  • “Expand Healthcare Access”
  • “Support Veterans and Military Families”
  • “Keep Our Communities Safe”
  • “Support Workers & Small Businesses”
  • “Invest in Public Education”
  • “Fix Immigration The Right Way”
  • “Protect Voting Rights & Strengthen Our Democracy”

Quoted from gayforcongress.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

Valimont 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.
