Democrat Not on the November ballot

Not on the November ballot

Pekarsky is not on the November ballot for this seat. James Walkinshaw, Arthur Purves and Dianne L. Blais are.

Who is on the ballot is a filed fact about the contest, not a judgement about a candidate. Pekarsky'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. Showing 7 of the 10 campaigns that hold the seat, are on the ballot, or have $25,000 raised or outside spending; 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.

Record in office

Pekarsky 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.
