Patrick Roath

Democrat Not on the November ballot

Not on the November ballot

Roath is not on the November ballot for this seat. Stephen Lynch, Robert Burke and Rasheed Nicholas Walters are.

Who is on the ballot is a filed fact about the contest, not a judgement about a candidate. Roath's campaign finance and record below are still their own record, and their committee may still be filing.

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; this page's own row keeps its weight so the comparison stays readable. A hollow row is a candidate with no finance report on file yet, not one who raised nothing.

Spending to support them

$302,046

Leaders We Deserve$255,817
SF Solidarity PAC$24,612
Indivisible Action$21,617

Spending to oppose them

No committee has filed independent spending in this direction.

How these directions are decided

Independent expenditures reported to the FEC, through August 26, 2026. 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 Roath's campaign says it would work on.

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

“Affordable housing”
“Family Affordability & Childcare”
“Affordable Healthcare”
“Jobs & Economic opportunity”
“Reproductive Rights”
“Immigration”
“Public education”
“Fighting for Full Equality & LGBTQ+ Rights”
“Fixing politics & our democracy”
“Foreign Policy”
“Climate & The Environment”

Quoted from patrickroath.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

Roath 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.
