Muted rows are campaigns not on the November ballot; their money is still their own filed record. Showing 7 of the 9 campaigns that hold the seat, are on the ballot, or have $25,000 raised or outside spending; every filing is on the race page.
Spending to support them
$10- Sierra Club Independent Action$10
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 Kirschner's campaign says it would work on.
The priorities Kirschner's own campaign site lists, quoted as written there. They are what the campaign says. Nobody has voted on them.

- “The Insurance Crisis”
- “Support Small Business”
- “Accessibility”
Quoted from kellykirschner.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
Kirschner 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.
Candidates and financing from the FEC, public domain. Nothing here is a forecast, a grade, or a ranking of candidates.
