Not on the November ballot

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.

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 7 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; every filing is on the race page.

Record in office

Ford 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.
