Finance Reports
No FEC campaign committee or reports on file for 2026
Checked 2026-09-24: the Federal Election Commission lists candidate ID H6MI13320 for this race, but no principal campaign committee is designated for the 2025–26 cycle, so there are no committee reports of receipts or spending. A candidate who raises or spends under $5,000 is not required to register a committee.
