Not on the November ballot
Badger is not on the November ballot for this seat. Tom Barrett, William Lawrence, Shane Dedrick and Felix Thibodeau are.
Who is on the ballot is a filed fact about the contest, not a judgement about a candidate. Badger's campaign finance and record below are still their own record, and their committee may still be filing.

U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2024 5-year estimates. Context about the district, not a statement about any candidate.
Campaign money
Badger has no campaign finance on file yet.
Committees report quarterly; an empty filing is not a statement about the candidate.
Record in office
Badger 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.
