Full profileConnie Chan is one of four candidates in the contested 2026 general election for California’s 11th Congressional District. The election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. The field also includes Cole Bettles, Saikat Chakrabarti and Nathan Deer.
The CA-11 field
Three candidates — Bettles, Chan and Chakrabarti — are listed as Democrats. Deer is listed with the designation NNE. All four are seeking the U.S. House seat representing California’s 11th District.
The candidate entries do not include biographies for Bettles, Chan, Chakrabarti or Deer. They also do not identify documented policy positions for any of the four candidates. The clearest distinctions in the records are their party or candidate designations and reported campaign finance totals.
Candidate records and campaign finances
Cole Bettles, Democrat: No biography is on file. Bettles has $0 listed as funds raised and $0 listed as funds spent. A cash-on-hand amount is not on file.
Connie Chan, Democrat: No biography is on file. Chan has $2,404,664.18 listed as funds raised and $1,822,859.27 listed as funds spent. A cash-on-hand amount is not on file.
Saikat Chakrabarti, Democrat: No biography is on file. Chakrabarti has $0 listed as funds raised and $0 listed as funds spent. A cash-on-hand amount is not on file.
Nathan Deer, NNE: No biography is on file. Deer has $3,987.42 listed as funds raised and $3,987.42 listed as funds spent. A cash-on-hand amount is not on file.
What the financial totals show
Bettles and Chakrabarti each have identical listed totals: no money raised and no money spent. Deer’s listed fundraising and spending are also equal, at $3,987.42 for each category. Chan’s listed fundraising exceeds listed spending by.
That difference is an arithmetic comparison of the two reported totals, not a cash-on-hand figure. Cash on hand can be affected by factors beyond the difference between cumulative fundraising and spending, and no cash-on-hand amount is on file for any of the four candidates. The figures establish only how much each entry lists as raised and spent.
Policy positions and election date
No documented policy positions are on file for any candidate in the race. That means the records do not establish where Bettles, Chan, Chakrabarti or Deer stands on issues before Congress. Their listed designations should not be treated as substitutes for individual policy positions.
The next fixed point in the race is the general election on Nov. 3, 2026. Before then, voters can watch for changes to the candidate field, updated fundraising and spending totals, cash-on-hand figures, candidate biographies and documented issue positions. Those updates would provide more information for comparing all four candidates without indicating who will prevail.
