Independent Not on the November ballot

Not on the November ballot

Etzkorn is not on the November ballot for this seat. Suzan DelBene and Mary Silva are.

Who is on the ballot is a filed fact about the contest, not a judgement about a candidate. Etzkorn'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.

Spending to oppose them

No committee has filed independent spending in this direction.

How these directions are decided

Independent expenditures reported to the FEC, through July 30, 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.

In their own words

What Etzkorn's campaign says it would work on.

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

“Shrink the Bureaucracy”
“Low Income Housing in Washington State”
“The “Capital Stack” Scam”
“The Engineer’s Solution”

Quoted from jamesforwashington.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

Etzkorn 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.
