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.

The whole race

Record in office

Gilbreath 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.
