Not on the November ballot
Forbes is not on the November ballot for this seat. Pete Ricketts, Dan Osborn and Cindy Burbank are.
A primary result is a filed fact about a contest, not a judgement about a candidate. Forbes's campaign finance and record below are still their own record, and their committee may still be filing.

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
Forbes 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.
Candidates and financing from the FEC, public domain. Nothing here is a forecast, a grade, or a ranking of candidates.
