Muted rows are campaigns not on the November ballot; their money is still their own filed record.
Record in office
Vancil 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.
What the campaign says, on vancilforcongress.comCandidates and financing from the FEC, public domain. Nothing here is a forecast, a grade, or a ranking of candidates.
