Everything here comes from the state's official candidate list, with the party label exactly as the state prints it. The fact box adds FEC filings, basic personal details from Wikidata (Wikipedia's free companion database) and a photo only when one is confirmed: an official congressional portrait or a freely licensed Wikimedia Commons photo with its credit. GovGalaxy never adds campaign claims, ratings or issue positions. Lists are in the state's order; nothing is ranked.
