What the records establish
The official candidate list establishes a contested race with 12 named candidates and identifies their political designations. It does not establish differences among the candidates on federal policy because none has documented positions on file. Campaign finance comparisons also cannot be made from the records because funds raised, funds spent and cash-on-hand figures are not on file for any candidate.
