Next election · not the pond
Not currently in an elected office · No upcoming race for them in the site's ballot data
"No upcoming race for them in the site's ballot data" means the site's own ballot data has no 2026 race for that person. If a later roster rebuild adds a candidacy, the candidate rule wins. Don't infer candidacies from news.

Funding — not the pond
FEC money track · 2024–2026 cycle · never part of the pond
Did they take money from PACs that funded both Democrats and Republicans? Money never moves the pond.
Campaign — didn’t take the both-sides check
$0 TAKE (dual-party PAC)
Under $1,000 from PACs that fund both parties this cycle. Super PACs are not in this number. Money never moves the pond.
Context. Not the pond. Taking the check is not a flip. Flipping after the check, and staying quiet, is.
Traditional PAC contributions to candidate committees only. A dual-party PAC gave at least $1,000 to both parties. AIPAC in this table is committee C00797670. Legal, disclosed, hard-capped. Super PACs and dark money are not in this number. Taking this money is common. The amount is the story. HippoCricket doesn't put this in the pond. FEC bulk committee-to-candidate (24K/24Z), cycles 2024+2026. Dual-party = PAC gave ≥$1,000 to Dems and ≥$1,000 to Republicans. AIPAC = C00797670 only. Download the PAC table.
