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 Ahlman's campaign says it would work on.

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

  • “Drive Down Grocery Prices, Home Prices, Gas Prices and Farm Costs”
  • “Outlaw Corruption and Hold Elites Accountable”

Quoted from ahlmanfornebraska.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

Ahlman 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.
