Fusion-party lines are combined only when the official publication reports the same named candidate on multiple party lines. Generic write-in, blank, invalid, and other non-person rows remain separate below.
| Candidate | Party label(s) | Votes | Share |
|---|---|---|---|

Election.org calculation: the final margin is 109,264 votes, subtracting the second-highest published final total from the highest. The official publication does not publish this page's margin field separately.
These source rows are not candidate identities. A blank share means the row is a ranked-choice accounting total that would be misleading if added to the final candidate denominator.

Yes. The House Clerk says this publication compiles official vote counts from official sources in the states and territories.
No. The highest-total label and margin are transparent arithmetic from the published totals. Neither is an election-night projection.
Primaries, general elections, runoffs, fusion-party lines, and ranked-choice rounds are distinct stages. Election.org does not collapse them.
The official PDF did not publish a value for that candidate and stage. Blank values remain blank instead of becoming zero.
