Not on the November ballot
Lauf is not on the November ballot for this seat. Jim Schwartzel and Victor Arias are.

Spending to support them
$2.5M- Protect Freedom Political Action Committee$2.2M
- Love America Uphold Freedom PAC$308K
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.
Record in office
Lauf 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.
What the campaign says, on catalinaforcongress.comCandidates and financing from the FEC, public domain. Nothing here is a forecast, a grade, or a ranking of candidates.
