Not on the November ballot
Lauf is not on the November ballot for this seat. Victor Arias, Jim Schwartzel, Seth Haskin and Alexandra Zakhvatayev are.
Who is on the ballot is a filed fact about the contest, not a judgement about a candidate. Lauf's campaign finance and record below are still their own record, and their committee may still be filing.

Spending to oppose them
No committee has filed independent spending in this direction.
How these directions are decided
Independent expenditures reported to the FEC, through August 18, 2026. 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 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.
