A hollow row is a candidate with no finance report on file yet, not one who raised nothing. Showing 6 of the 8 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, through October 9, 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.
Record in office
El-Sayed 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.
