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; their money is still their own filed record.

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.

In their own words

What Gallrein's campaign says it would work on.

The priorities Gallrein's own campaign site lists, quoted as written there. They are what the campaign says. Nobody has voted on them.

  • “President Trump”
  • “Ed's Story”
  • “Unleash Our Economy”
  • “Secure the Border & Protect our Nation”
  • “Defend Our Gun Rights”
  • “Protect the Unborn”
  • “End the Woke Agenda”

Quoted from edgallrein.com, 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

Gallrein 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.
