§2Who they are
Why this matters: Background and experience help you judge how someone might do the job. These come from public records and the candidate's own materials.
Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.

Why they say they're running
Her campaign website says she is running because, as a VA health worker, she found that dedicated service was not enough to fix problems affecting her veterans’ quality of life, and that she wants to solve fixable problems in the district, including helping veterans, lowering costs and fixing health care in rural areas.6

§3What they've said on the issues
Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.
Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.
Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.
Foreign Policy and Defense
Her campaign website says she would vote no on funding the Iran War.8
Economy, Jobs and Trade
Her campaign website says she is committed to raising the minimum wage.8
Education
Her campaign website says she is committed to student loan relief.8
Her campaign website says she sees debates about transgender people, including over high school sports, as a distraction from issues like inflation, job losses and health care cuts, and says high school sports do not need to be political.9
Social Security and Medicare
Her campaign website says she will demand stronger Social Security payments that keep pace with inflation.8
- Increase benefits, for example with larger yearly cost-of-living raises
- Keep the current benefit formula
- Slow benefit growth for higher earners or future retirees
Her campaign website says that to address Social Security’s funding shortfall, Congress needs to look at the payroll tax and income caps.9
Agriculture and Rural Life
Her campaign website says she will ensure safety nets, fair prices and resources that foster independent farming investment.8
Health Care
Her campaign website says she will vote to restore Medicare subsidies and fight to close the insurance gap, and that the country needs prescription drug caps, more coverage for children and seniors and a more affordable system for working families.8
Energy and Climate
Her campaign website says she opposes the expansion of large hyperscale data centers in her district, that Congress has the power to investigate data centers, and that she supports bills to tax the difference between low electricity rates and the national average to prevent runaway development.9
- Encourage new data centers with tax breaks and faster approvals
- Require data centers to pay the full cost of the power plants and lines they need
- Pause or limit new data centers
Veterans
Her campaign website says she will prioritize easier access to VA care and push coverage for rural veterans through telehealth and local clinics.8
Courts, Rights and Civil Liberties
Her campaign website says she will fight to enshrine legal protections for LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC Americans.8
Immigration
Her campaign website says she supports a pathway to citizenship for people who have been living in the United States for decades in peace.9
- No new legal status, including for people brought here as children
- Legal status only for people brought here as children, such as DACA recipients
- Legal status, but not citizenship, for most who pass background checks and pay a fine
- A path to citizenship for most who meet requirements such as background checks
Her campaign website says she wants to stop detaining American citizens, treat people humanely and deport people if needed, and prevent people with criminal records, especially violent criminals, from crossing into the country.9
§4Money
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.
Reported to the Federal Election Commission for the 2025–2026 election cycle, through October 14, 2026.10
| Raised | $246,621 |
|---|---|
| Spent | $156,055 |
| Cash on hand | $93,522 |
| Debts owed by the campaign | $25,520 |
Where the money came from
Outside spending
Groups spending independently reported $0 supporting and $25,000 opposing Maura Keller this cycle, primary and general combined, in the 24- and 48-hour reports the law requires for larger expenditures, filed through October 21, 2026.11
| Group | Supporting | Opposing |
|---|---|---|
| AMERICAN JOBS AND GROWTH PAC | — | $25,000 |
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.
§5Financial 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.
