Where their votes land Each scale runs between the two parties. The left end is the side most Democrats took on a set of hand-picked roll-call votes, the right end the side most Republicans took, and Tom Cole's marker sits at the share of those votes they cast on the Republican side. Votes that most of both parties agreed on are left out, because they cannot show which side anyone was on.
Overall average of 7 values
Democratic side 97 · Voted with Republicans almost every timeRepublican side
0 is the Democratic side of every party-split vote and 100 the Republican side of every one. This is the average of the 7 value positions below that rest on 4 or more votes, each counted once however many votes stand behind it; 3 values below have fewer than 4 votes and are drawn but not counted in it, and 2 values have no votes from Tom Cole at all.

Where the money came from Receipts into Tom Cole’s own campaign committee over the 2025–2026 election cycle, through June 30, 2026.
Small individual donors 2.9% $109,109 Large individual donors 51.0% $1,952,941 PACs 41.0% $1,568,079 Transfers in 3.9% $149,164 Other and unclassified 1.3% $48,599 Total receipts 100% $3,827,891 Embed this chart What these categories mean
Small individual donors People whose giving stayed under $200 in total. The FEC does not require them to be named, so who they are is genuinely unknown — not merely unlisted.
Large individual donors People whose giving passed $200, which is the point at which the campaign must report their name, employer and occupation.
PACs Political action committees — corporate, trade, union and ideological. Money from an organisation rather than from a person.
Transfers in Money moved in from another committee the candidate is authorised by, typically a joint fundraising committee.
Other and unclassified The remainder once every category above is accounted for: federal funds, offsets, interest, and anything this site could not classify. It is a residual, not a kind of donor. This is money the campaign itself received. It is not everything spent to win the seat. It excludes leadership PACs, and it excludes independent expenditures and other outside spending — money spent to elect or defeat a candidate by groups they may not lawfully coordinate with, which in a contested race can exceed everything shown above. It is not personal income or net worth, which are a separate filing altogether. Figures are as filed with the Federal Election Commission and are only as current as the last report, covering through June 30, 2026; a cycle still running is a partial count. Check this filing on fec.gov .
Personal finances Separately from the campaign money above, Tom Cole files a report about their own money: what they own, what they owe, what they earn outside Congress, and every stock trade they make. The law requires it, and every figure in it is a range rather than an amount — which is why the columns below are ranges too.
What they report owning, and owing Reported assets $5.0M to $14M 62 lines Every column is read from $0. The solid height is the total of the low ends of the bands the filer ticked; the pale cap runs on to the total of the high ends, and is the range the form allows — not a margin of error and not a guess. Assets less debts comes to — — a range, and not a net worth: the form does not ask about a personal residence that earns nothing, about congressional salary, or about the exact value of anything.

The band printed beside each group is the real answer, and it is wider than the arc.

A district link opens that seat as the plan in force draws it . Seat numbers outlive the lines beneath them, so for an older term that is not the ground they held.
Their district The ground Tom Cole represented, and what was measured on it while they held it. A seat listed twice is a seat whose boundaries were redrawn: the entries describe different areas, not the same area twice.
Figures are the most recent published for each indicator in a period that ended while they held the seat — a figure published after they left describes their successor’s district. Allocated figures are built from the counties overlapping the district and carry the share of its residents the reporting sources covered. These are conditions in the district, not a record of the member. Nothing here is evidence that they caused any of it, or that a different representative would have produced different numbers.
