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.

A hollow row is a candidate with no finance report on file yet, not one who raised nothing.

Quoted from johndayforcongress.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

Day 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.
