U.S. Representative, District 9

2-year term

Your one voice in the U.S. House. Votes on federal laws and the federal budget — and only the House can start tax and spending bills.

What this office does

The U.S. House of Representatives makes and passes federal laws — it is one of Congress's two chambers (the other is the U.S. Senate). The House has up to 435 voting representatives, apportioned to the states by population, and each representative is elected to a two-year term serving the people of a specific congressional district. Representatives introduce bills and resolutions, offer amendments, and serve on committees.

Money figures are as filed with the Federal Election Commission, and cover only the period each report covers — they are a snapshot, not a live total. Each candidate’s profile carries that filing’s own caveats.

Same rows for every candidate, listed alphabetically by surname — not the order they appear on the ballot, and never by party. A dash means we hold nothing for that line, not that the answer is zero.

A new district drawn in the 2026 redistricting — it has no sitting member. Major-party nominees confirmed from the completed March 3 and May 26, 2026 primaries. Minor-party and independent candidates are not yet confirmed against the certified ballot — check the official sample ballot.
