Money: FEC bulk data, through Oct 14. One or more are matched to the FEC by name, party and seat, so a total could belong to someone else.
How these are counted
Total receipts line of each candidate’s principal campaign committee, 2025-2026 cycle, filed through Jul 15 and Oct 14. Other sites may show career, six-year or all-committee totals, which differ. Burlison: $1,697,442 received, $962,364 cash on hand. Hesketh: $50,540 received, $33,543 cash on hand. The spectrum is a published research score, not our rating. How this works. Wins and losses count the races in our results files, the same as each profile.
