Economic profile at this seat’s exact geography
Census economic profile: not available for this seat’s geography. Census block equivalency files show this state's district boundaries changed between the 119th Congress (the geography of the ACS 2020-2024 district product) and the 120th Congress plan governing the 2026 contest. Statistics are never transferred between different plans, even when a district number matches.
Campaign finances
2025-2026 two-year period (FEC cycle 2026). Committee totals are the FEC’s own candidate-level aggregation — never summed from committee rows here. Independent spending is reported separately and is never part of a candidate’s receipts. An FEC registration is not proof of ballot qualification; candidacy status comes verbatim from the accepted release.
General election · November 3, 2026
“No matching FEC candidate record” means no filing was located — it is never evidence that a candidacy does not exist, and never a ballot-status claim. Candidates’ coverage dates can differ; each row carries its own.
