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. A hollow row is a candidate with no finance report on file yet, not one who raised nothing.

The whole race

Spending to support them

$19
  • Grassroots North Shore$19

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.

In their own words

What Smith's campaign says it would work on.

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

  • “Good Jobs and Fair Wages”
  • “Healthcare”
  • “Education and Training for Every Path”
  • “AI and Data Centers”
  • “Sustainability, Conservation, and Clean Energy”
  • “Housing”
  • “Workers and Unions”
  • “Family Farms and Rural Communities”
  • “Immigration”
  • “Reproductive Freedom”
  • “Guns and Public Safety”

Quoted from bradsmithforcongress.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

Smith 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. Portrait: Campaign photo, campaign website (reference use, candidate's own published headshot). Nothing here is a forecast, a grade, or a ranking of candidates.
