Why this page looks different

A governor isn't a member of Congress

Members of Congress write bills, vote on them in roll calls, and report their campaign money to the Federal Election Commission. Governors do none of those. They sign or veto the bills their state legislature sends them, so that's what this page shows.

Governors report campaign money to their state, not the FEC, and all 50 states publish it in different ways. We haven't added it, because we won't show numbers we can't check.
