Against the field for this seat

Each campaign's reported receipts on one shared scale, incumbent first and then by name, after this page's own row, never in money order.

Muted rows are campaigns not on the November ballot; this page's own row keeps its weight so the comparison stays readable. Also on the ballot with no FEC filing, so no row: John Elleson. Showing 6 of the 12 campaigns that hold the seat, are on the ballot, or have $25,000 raised or outside spending, not counting campaigns that ended before any ballot, plus this page's own; every filing is on the race page.

The whole race

Record in office

Leon 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.
