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; this page's own row keeps its weight so the comparison stays readable. Showing 7 of 10 funded campaigns; every filing is on the race page.

The whole race

In their own words

What Khot's campaign says it would work on.

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

  • Creating Good Jobs with Good Benefits
  • Immigration
  • Affordability
  • Standing Up to Maga Extremism
  • Healthcare
  • Education
  • Environment
  • Foreign Policy

  • Reducing Gun Violence

Quoted from neilforcongress.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

Khot 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.

Candidates and financing from the FEC, public domain. Nothing here is a forecast, a grade, or a ranking of candidates.
