Not on the November ballot
Russell is not on the November ballot for this seat. Don Davis, Laurie Buckhout and Tom Bailey are.
Who is on the ballot is a filed fact about the contest, not a judgement about a candidate. Russell's campaign finance and record below are still their own record, and their committee may still be filing.

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
$17K- North Carolina Conservative Fund$17K
Spending to oppose them
No committee has filed independent spending in this direction.
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 Russell's campaign says it would work on.
The priorities Russell's own campaign site lists, quoted as written there. They are what the campaign says. Nobody has voted on them.
- “America First”
- “Family First”
- “Drain the Swamp”
- “Standing with Trump”
- “Economy and Cost of Living”
- “Stop the Spending, Balance the Budget”
- “Term Limits and Outsider Reform”

Record in office
Russell 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.
