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. A hollow row is a candidate with no finance report on file yet, not one who raised nothing.

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.

Record in office

Hatcher 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.
