Quoted from davidpautsch.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
Pautsch 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.
