  • Chris Rabb

    Democrat · Pennsylvania state representative

    F
    Liberty Score F

    0 out of 100 across 4 principles. Graded on what Rabb has said and done, because I have no votes in Congress to count for Rabb.

    Raised $1,457,912 since January 2025: 90% from people, 8% from PACs and other committees, 2% transfers and other income. The filing at FEC.gov

  • Dennis Mahoney

    Independent · humanitarian aid worker, independent from south philadelphia

    No grade
    Nothing on record

    I have no votes in Congress to count for Mahoney, and I found nothing Mahoney has said or done on any of these questions: no campaign positions and no interview I could check. I went through it on October 21.

    Raised $37,385 since January 2025: 97% from people, 3% the candidate’s own money. The filing at FEC.gov

Voting in Pennsylvania: how to register, vote early or vote by mail. Election Day was November 3.

Chris Rabb, on the record

I have no votes in Congress to count for Rabb, so the grade above comes from this list: what Rabb has said and done on my principles. Each line has its source, and each is marked with the same test I use for votes.
