Spending to support them

Spending to oppose them
No committee has filed independent spending in this direction.
How these directions are decided
Independent expenditures reported to the FEC. 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.

Record in office
Nolley 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.
