Against the field for this seat
Each campaign's reported receipts on one shared scale, incumbent first and then by name, never in money order.
- Lupe Castillo-
- Patty Garcia$359K
- Chris Gettythis page$188K
- Ed Hershey-
A hollow row is a candidate with no finance report on file yet, not one who raised nothing.
Spending to support them
$262K- Independent PAC$262K
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 September 3, 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.
In their own words
What Getty's campaign says it would work on.
The priorities Getty's own campaign site lists, quoted as written there. They are what the campaign says. Nobody has voted on them.
- “Fighting for Our Community”
- “Cost of Living”
- “Immigration & Public Safety”
- “Government Accountability”
- “Chris will be a fierce advocate for responsible immigration solutions”
Quoted from chrisgettyforcongress.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
Getty 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.
