Why these records belong together
Federal terms join only on the corpus person_id; state roles join only on the Open States person UUID. FEC campaign records connect only through an exact FEC candidate ID. Names alone never merge people.

2026 campaign records
These campaign records connect through an FEC candidate ID already attached to the person's sourced federal term—not through a name match. A filing record does not prove ballot qualification.
Official certified history
2016–2022 federal election results
Connected only when an FEC result row carries an exact candidate ID already attached to this person. Coverage currently includes the FEC's 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022 biennial workbooks, not every election in the person's career.

Vote labels reproduce the official House Clerk or Senate row. “Not voting” states no reason. Election.org does not score or ideologically classify votes.

Personal financial disclosures
The Clerk index does not expose a Bioguide or FEC person ID. These rows match the current House role by first name, last name, state, and district, so this connection is visibly weaker than the ID-based campaign and vote joins.
Connection is not causation—or judgment.
A term, campaign filing, vote, election result, disclosure, or stock transaction proves only what its cited source reports. Campaign contributions do not establish why a vote was cast; a securities transaction is not evidence of wrongdoing, intent, profit, or a conflict of interest.
