Race at a glance

Policy positions

There are no documented policy positions on file for Trahan, Ades, Clark or Grossi. That means the official entries do not establish where any of the candidates stand on specific federal issues.

Party identification is not a substitute for a candidate’s stated position. Trahan and Clark are Democrats, Grossi is a Republican, and Ades has no party affiliation, but those labels alone do not document how each candidate would approach legislation or votes in the U.S. House.

Campaign finance

Funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are not on file for any candidate in the race. There are therefore no campaign finance figures to compare among Trahan, Ades, Clark and Grossi.

Fundraising, spending and available cash are separate measures. Raised funds track money received, spending tracks campaign expenses, and cash on hand reflects money a campaign has available at a reporting point. No totals are listed for any of the four campaigns.
