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. Showing 7 of the 10 campaigns that hold the seat, are on the ballot, or have $25,000 raised or outside spending, not counting campaigns that ended before any ballot; every filing is on the race page.

How these directions are decided

Independent expenditures reported to the FEC. 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

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

  • “Faces of Humanity”
  • “Sands of Time”
  • “Secure the Border”
  • “Protect Life”
  • “Defend Our Kids”

  • “Cut the Spending”
  • “Stand with Trump”
  • “Protect Medical Freedom”

Quoted from jonbonck.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

Bonck 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.
