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 November ballot; their money is still their own filed record. Also on the ballot with no FEC filing, so no row: Seamus Patrick O'Toole.

How these directions are decided

Independent expenditures reported to the FEC, through October 9, 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.

In their own words

What Bennett's campaign says it would work on.

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

  • “Making New Jersey More Affordable”
  • “Growing New Jersey's Economy”
  • “Lowering Healthcare costs”
  • “Keeping Our Neighborhoods Safe”
  • “Protecting America's National Security”
  • “Defending Our Freedoms”
  • “Supporting America's Veterans and Military Families”
  • “Safeguarding New Jersey's Environment”

Quoted from rebeccabennettforcongress.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

Bennett 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.
