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.

Muted rows are campaigns not on the ballot on record; 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.

The whole race

In their own words

What Barringer's campaign says it would work on.

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

  • “Affordable Healthcare”
  • “Foreign Policy”
  • “Immigration”
  • “Fiscal Policy”
  • “Education”
  • “Police & Justice”
  • “Reproductive Health”
  • “2nd Amendment Rights”
  • “Agriculture & Farming”
  • “Veterans Support”
  • “Conservation & Public Lands”
  • “Tariffs”

Quoted from paulbarringer.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

Barringer 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. Portrait: Campaign photo, campaign website (reference use, candidate's own published headshot). Nothing here is a forecast, a grade, or a ranking of candidates.
