    Liberty Score F

    On the liberty side in 42 of 121 votes and bills.

    Raised $882,179 since January 2025: 51% from people, 49% from PACs and other committees. The filing at FEC.gov

  • Edwin Rivera

    Republican · army veteran, former police officer in Puerto Rico

    No grade
    Nothing on record

    I have no votes in Congress to count for Rivera, and I found nothing Rivera has said or done on any of these questions: no campaign positions and no interview I could check. I went through it on October 20.

    Raised $15,391 since January 2025: 43% from people, 27% the candidate’s own money, 23% transfers and other income. The filing at FEC.gov

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