§3Money
Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.

Where the money came from
Outside spending
Groups spending independently reported $2,409 supporting and $0 opposing Joy A. Powers this cycle, primary and general combined, in the 24- and 48-hour reports the law requires for larger expenditures, filed through October 13, 2026.4
| Group | Supporting | Opposing |
|---|---|---|
| Rural America Rising | $2,409 | — |
Smaller expenditures that appear only on a group's regular monthly or quarterly report aren't in these totals, so the full amounts can be somewhat higher. When a group amends a report, only its latest version is counted.
§4Financial disclosures
Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.
