Democrat Not on the November ballot

Not on the November ballot

Turner is not on the November ballot for this seat. Christian Menefee and Ronald Whitfield are.

Who is on the ballot is a filed fact about the contest, not a judgement about a candidate. Turner's campaign finance and record below are still their own record, and their committee may still be filing.

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; this page's own row keeps its weight so the comparison stays readable. A hollow row is a candidate with no finance report on file yet, not one who raised nothing.

The whole race

Record in office

Turner 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.
