Why these records belong together
Federal terms join only on the corpus person_id; state roles join only on the Open States person UUID. FEC campaign records connect only through an exact FEC candidate ID. Names alone never merge people.

Sourced federal term history
The normalized federal term view begins with terms starting in 1923 and is not a complete history of every person who has ever held federal office.
Exact FEC ID connection
2026 campaign records
These campaign records connect through an FEC candidate ID already attached to the person's sourced federal term—not through a name match. A filing record does not prove ballot qualification.
Official certified history
2016–2022 federal election results
Connected only when an FEC result row carries an exact candidate ID already attached to this person. Coverage currently includes the FEC's 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022 biennial workbooks, not every election in the person's career.

A term, campaign filing, vote, election result, disclosure, or stock transaction proves only what its cited source reports. Campaign contributions do not establish why a vote was cast; a securities transaction is not evidence of wrongdoing, intent, profit, or a conflict of interest.

How to interpret this record
Tom Barrett — U.S. Representative — Michigan District 7: Profile & Public Record
Public office is an institution with responsibilities, boundaries and a term. A person may hold that office, seek it, leave it or appear in historical records about it. Those are different relationships.
Follow the seat through time
An office record is a useful anchor because people change while the institution continues. A current roster identifies a holder at a stated time; an election record identifies candidates for a particular contest. A vacant seat is still an office. Comparing these records helps avoid the common mistake of treating a candidate biography as proof that the person currently has governmental authority.
Keep identities and campaigns distinct
Names are not unique identifiers. A person can run more than once, seek different offices or appear with different punctuation in separate sources. Electionpedia retains the source identifiers and election context that allow a reader to check a match. A campaign committee is also a separate record: its receipts and spending should not be read as the candidate’s personal wealth.
