Facts from free public data: the TV markets the district sits in, what every campaign and outside group spent in recent races, and the votes cast. Spending is campaign spending, less contributions to party committees and other candidates, plus independent expenditures. A vote is any vote cast in that contest.15
| Market | TV homes | Of the district | District is, of market |

Markets are Nielsen’s Designated Market Areas, matched to the district county by county on the 119th Congress lines (5 counties or parts). Shares are of people, from the 2020 Census. TV homes are Nielsen’s 2024-25 estimates. A small share of a large market means most of what a TV buy reaches lives outside the district.11

| Cycle | Raised | From individuals | Cash at year end |
|---|---|---|---|

Cash on hand from the member’s latest filing with the Federal Election Commission. Past cycles: money raised over each two-year cycle and cash on hand on December 31 of its election year, from the same filings, in dollars as reported. From individuals is the share of money raised that came from individual donors.
Conservative average
15.8
Heritage Action and Turning Point Action are the member’s lifetime scores, read from those pages. Club for Growth is the member’s lifetime rating, and GOP Platform measures agreement with the national Republican Party platform in 2025, published by the Institute for Legislative Analysis.
The scorecard average covers all four. No score means none was published, not zero, and is left out of the average: the record says “No score published”.
Each group’s name links to the member’s own page on its scorecard, opened on the date shown.
Progressive average
88.7
Mirrored for every member, of either party: the League of Conservation Voters’ lifetime score, read from the member’s page; Progressive Punch’s lifetime score on all votes, read from its House table; and Democracy Defenders Action’s Stop Corruption Now score for the 119th Congress (September 16, 2026), its total on 10 anti-corruption and pro-democracy votes and cosponsorships, shown out of 100. The progressive average covers the three; no score means none was published (Stop Corruption Now did not grade members in office for less than a year, or certain current and former House leaders).
The Immigration Accountability Project’s IAP Action score counts sponsorship, cosponsorship, and votes on immigration. A running total, not a percentage. Higher means more restrictive on immigration.

For the 2026 race.
Endorsed: Hakeem Jeffries.
None on record: Justice Democrats, Working Families Party, Congressional Progressive Caucus PAC, Democratic Socialists of America.
Endorsed: the group endorsed the member for 2026. None on record: no 2026 endorsement in the endorsement records. Mirrored for Democrats: Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and four Democratic-side groups, as Republicans are checked against Donald Trump and three Republican-side groups. The Democratic Socialists of America counts only its national endorsements, not a local chapter’s.
5 public polls of the 2026 race, newest first. Delaney’s share is always on the left. Red is a Republican candidate, blue a Democratic one.
Shares are as published, so they add up to less than 100 when some voters were undecided. The line at the middle marks half the vote. The pollster’s name links to the poll’s release or the news report of its results.
