Receipts, cash on hand, and outside (independent-expenditure) spending from the Federal Election Commission. Bars are scaled within this race. Foxx won a contested GOP primary; Hubbard won the Democratic primary (over Kyah Creekmore). Luffman (filed Robert B. Luffman, LIB) direct to general. An independent (David Clayton) had been mentioned but withdrew and is not on the NC SBE ballot list. The field and its fundraising will keep updating as primaries settle and new FEC reports land.
The rating is grounded in this seat’s record on Akashic — its partisan lean, same-office history, and demographics. Read the full profile on the NC-05 place page.
