Not on the November ballot

Franzen is not on the November ballot for this seat. Peggy Flanagan and Michele Tafoya are.

Against the field for this seat

Each campaign's reported receipts on one shared scale, in ballot order, not money order.

Muted rows are campaigns not on the November ballot; this page's own row keeps its weight so the comparison stays readable. Showing 4 of 9 funded campaigns; every filing is on the race page.

Record in office

Franzen has not held this office, so there is no federal voting record, no cosponsorships and no committee service to report.

That absence is not a position for or against anything; it is what a first federal campaign looks like in the public record.
