Muted rows are campaigns not on the November ballot; their money is still their own filed record. Also on the ballot with no FEC filing, so no row: Rick Stewart.

Record in office
Bushaw 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.
