Muted rows are campaigns not on the November ballot; their money is still their own filed record.
In their own words
What Marter's campaign says it would work on.
The priorities Marter's own campaign site lists, quoted as written there. They are what the campaign says. Nobody has voted on them.
- “Cut Spending”
- “Grow Opportunity”
- “Protect Freedom”
- “Improve Security”
- “Unite America”
- “Issues at a glance”
Quoted from marter4congress.us, 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
Marter 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.
