Research Findings

Sharice Davids (D-KS) has maintained a high-volume fundraising profile for the 2026 cycle, totaling over $3.69 million in receipts. A significant portion of this funding comes from major defense and aerospace PACs, including General Dynamics, Boeing, Textron, and GE (Gepac). While these entities represent the core of the U.S. defense industrial base, Davids' legislative record shows instances of friction with defense-oriented interests.

Specifically, on September 16, 2026, Davids voted in favor of H.Con.Res.93, which sought to invoke the War Powers Resolution to remove U.S. forces from hostilities with Iran. This vote aligns with a non-interventionist foreign policy that potentially limits the operational deployment and procurement needs of the very defense contractors funding her campaign. Despite these specific votes, she maintains a high degree of party loyalty (96% with Democrats) and continues to receive substantial support from the defense and aerospace sector.
