How these directions are decided

Independent expenditures reported to the FEC, through October 9, 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.

Record in office

Dunlap 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.
