§4Popular bills that never got a vote
Why this matters: Many bills with wide support from both parties never reach a vote, so no member of Congress is ever on record for or against them. Signing on as a sponsor or cosponsor is the only public record of support.
While Sharice L. Davids served, these bills had broad support from both parties but never reached a floor vote. No officeholder ever had to vote on them. Sharice L. Davids sponsored or cosponsored 45 of the 52. How bills die without a vote.

§5Money
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, 2026.62
| Raised | $4,656,759 |
|---|---|
| Spent | $3,199,989 |
| Cash on hand | $1,860,026 |
Where the money came from
Outside spending
Groups spending independently reported $11,221 supporting and $0 opposing Sharice L. Davids this cycle, primary and general combined, in the 24- and 48-hour reports the law requires for larger expenditures, filed through October 16, 2026.63
| Group | Supporting | Opposing |
|---|---|---|
| National Association of Realtors Political Action Committee | $11,221 | — |
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.
§6Financial 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.
