Not on the November ballot

Clayton is not on the November ballot for this seat. Virginia Foxx and Chuck Hubbard are.

A primary result is a filed fact about a contest, not a judgement about a candidate. Clayton'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, in ballot order, not money order.

Muted rows are campaigns not on the November ballot; this page's own row keeps its weight so the comparison stays readable.

The whole race

In their own words

What Clayton's campaign says it would work on.

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

  • Homeless Veterans
  • The Social Security, Medicaid, & Medicare Protections Act
  • The Patient Priority Act
  • No Stock Trades For Elected Officials
  • National Conflict of Interest Bill
  • Incumbent Representative Campaign Reform
  • Congressional Wage / Minimum Wage Reciprocity Act
  • The Policing Wellness Act
  • The Due Process Act
  • Zero Kings Act

Quoted from clayton4nc.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

Clayton has not held this office, so there is no federal voting record, no cosponsorships and no committee service to report.

That absence is not a position for or against anything; it is what a first federal campaign looks like in the public record.

Candidates and financing from the FEC, public domain. Nothing here is a forecast, a grade, or a ranking of candidates.
