Source and scope

Election figures use the House Clerk’s compilation of the November 5, 2024 results. Vote shares use the listed candidate and write-in votes. Other lines, such as blank and exhausted ballots, are displayed separately. When the Clerk lists the same candidate across ballot lines, their reported totals are combined.
Finance figures use the FEC 2024 candidate summary through each row’s coverage date. The adjusted figures subtract transfers between authorized committees from their corresponding reported receipts or disbursements, following the FEC file guide. Amounts are rounded to the nearest dollar.
Linking the records requires the same office, state and district with a unique normalized name match. A coverage gap is left visible when the records cannot be linked. Candidate financial summaries cover the cycle and can appear in more than one contest when a candidate ran for two terms.
Scope covers candidate committees in the FEC summary. Outside spending and individual contributor data are outside this view.
