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.
- Greg Murphy$2.4M
- Daniel Cavender-
- Allison Jaslow$274K
- Raymond Smith Jr.this page$223K
Muted rows are campaigns not on the November ballot; their money is still their own filed record. A hollow row is a candidate with no finance report on file yet, not one who raised nothing.
Spending to support them
$19K- AB PAC$12K
- Advance North Carolina$6.6K
- Red Wine and Blue$126
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 October 5, 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
Smith 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.
What the campaign says, on raymondesmithjr.comCandidates and financing from the FEC, public domain. Nothing here is a forecast, a grade, or a ranking of candidates.
