By donors (CFscore, 2022 cycle)

Research estimate from Stanford DIME 4.0. Source

Matched by name only, so it could be the wrong person.

Method and limits

Published score −0.651 on a scale from −2.0 to 2.0, where 0 is the center. 3,364 donors. License: ODC-BY 1.0.

Places a candidate by who gave them money; candidates who share donors sit close together.

Reflects the donor network, not votes or views, and comes from past cycles, not a 2026 reading.
