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. Showing 7 of 17 funded campaigns; every filing is on the race page.

The whole race

In their own words

What Dafis's campaign says it would work on.

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

  • 10 Bills on Day 1
  • An Economy that works for Everyone
  • Fortifying Public Education
  • Taking Action on Climate Change
  • A Sustainable Approach to Affordable Housing and Housing Justice
  • Protecting LGBTQ+ Rights

Quoted from dafisforcongress.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

Dafis 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.
