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; their money is still their own filed record. Showing 7 of 9 funded campaigns; every filing is on the race page.

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 Cowan's campaign says it would work on.

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

  • Healthcare That Puts Americans First
  • An Economy That Works For American Families
  • Elections Americans Can Trust
  • Freedoms That Define America
  • Government That Answers To The People

Quoted from cowanforcongress.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

Cowan 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.
