These are the venues, caterers, and hotels the campaign paidfor events — the money trail to where fundraising happened, with the vendor's city and state. It is not a guest list or attendance: who came, who hosted, and “what the crowd was like” aren't in any public record, so we don't guess at them.
Categories are grouped by keyword from the free-text purpose each campaign reports to the FEC, so the split is a guide, not an audit. Otheris spending whose reported purpose didn't clearly fit a category — campaigns describe disbursements inconsistently. Totals are for the candidate's campaign committees this cycle; see the FEC for the line-by-line record.

Every figure here is real and sourced: identity, party, seat, term history, committees and contact (congress-legislators); vote attendance, missed votes & how they voted (U.S. House Clerk, last 100 roll calls through 11-Jun-2026); campaign money raised and spent (FEC); stock-trade disclosures (U.S. House Clerk Periodic Transaction Reports); declared election opponents & the money they raised (FEC candidate filings), with opponent bios quoted from Wikipedia or Ballotpedia where a confident match exists; ideological placement (DW-NOMINATE, voteview.com) and party-unity (computed from the roll calls above); biography (Wikidata + Wikipedia); the 2026 session calendar (official schedule). Nothing on this page is invented. wheresmyguy? carries no flight data, home locations, or real-time tracking. Time-stamped information is delayed at least 4 hours by design — wheresmyguy? is never a real-time tracker.
