What badges mean

Claim approval verifies that an authorized candidate or campaign manages the profile; it does not independently verify every statement.

A cycle-stamped tier badge is a paid service label, not an endorsement, fact rating, rank, or placement.

Content provenance is disclosed separately. Read the paid-content policy.

Editorially verifiedFEC registry facts

FEC registration record

David Kustoff is registered with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) as a candidate filer for U.S. House in the 2026 election cycle, under FEC candidate ID H2TN07103.[1] The FEC registry records the party affiliation on this registration as Republican.[1] The registry marks the filer as an incumbent — a current holder of the office filing for re-election.[1] House registrations are recorded by district; the registry ties this filing to Tennessee's congressional district 8.[1]

An FEC registration establishes that this candidacy's paperwork exists in the federal registry; it does not by itself establish an active campaign organization, ballot access in any state, or a party's endorsement.[3] The Candidate publishes this profile from that registry record, so each fact above is verifiable at the source: the FEC's public page for candidate H2TN07103 and the filings the commission indexes for it.[1][2] The registry facts on this page were last verified against FEC records on May 9, 2026.[1]
