Not on the November ballot
Sawant is not on the November ballot for this seat. Adam Smith and Doug Basler are.
Who is on the ballot is a filed fact about the contest, not a judgement about a candidate. Sawant's campaign finance and record below are still their own record, and their committee may still be filing.

Muted rows are campaigns not on the November ballot; this page's own row keeps its weight so the comparison stays readable.
Spending to support them
$5.6K- Revolutionary Change PAC$5.6K
Spending to oppose them
No committee has filed independent spending in this direction.
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
Sawant 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.
What the campaign says, on kshamasawant.orgCandidates and financing from the FEC, public domain. Nothing here is a forecast, a grade, or a ranking of candidates.
