Receipts, cash on hand, and outside (independent-expenditure) spending from the Federal Election Commission. Bars are scaled within this race. Safe Republican northwestern Ohio seat. Latta (incumbent, 67.5% in 2024) unopposed in primary; Shaver won a four-way Democratic primary. (A Libertarian write-in, Michael J. Veloff, won that minor primary line with 25 votes but is not in the general-election field.) 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 OH-05 place page.
