This is the record in our results files, FEC candidate lists and DIME, not a complete career. Results for other offices, earlier years and most primaries can be missing. A general that went to a runoff counts as neither a win nor a loss. Some races are matched to this person by name and seat, not by an ID, so one could belong to someone with the same name.
Money
FEC, through Oct 14, 2026Spent $1.8M · Debts owed $0
Reports through Oct 14, 2026. Matched to the FEC by name, party and seat, so it could be the wrong person.
How these are counted
Later filings are not in yet. Totals for the 2025 to 2026 cycle. Main committee: Gaines for Congress. No donor names are shown.
Spectrum
1 published measureThe marker is the one published measure below. The middle means centrist on that measure’s own scale, not the middle of Congress. How this works
By donors (CFscore, 2022 cycle)
Research estimate from Stanford DIME 4.0. Source
Matched by name only, so it could be the wrong person.
Method and limits
Published score 1.141 on a scale from −2.0 to 2.0, where 0 is the center. 322 donors. License: ODC-BY 1.0.
Places a candidate by who gave them money; candidates who share donors sit close together.
Reflects the donor network, not votes or views, and comes from past cycles, not a 2026 reading.
