What the designations mean for this race
The candidate list identifies Bryan, Hinders, Kuhn, Perkins and Wicker as Democrats. It identifies Futch and Taylor as independents, Kustoff as a Republican and Austill with the designation NNE. The record does not define or expand the NNE designation, so it should not be treated as a statement of Austill’s party affiliation or political views.
Kustoff is the only candidate identified as the incumbent. Incumbency means the candidate currently holds the office being contested; it does not determine the election’s outcome.
Policy and campaign finance record
None of the nine candidates has a documented policy position on file. That means the official entries do not establish any candidate’s views on taxes, spending, health care, immigration, abortion, foreign policy or other matters that may come before Congress.
Campaign finance totals are also not on file for any candidate. The current entries therefore do not show how much any campaign has raised or spent, or how much cash any campaign has available. Those figures may become part of the public election record through later campaign finance filings.
What voters can verify now
The contest is for Tennessee’s 8th Congressional District and is part of the 2026 general election. Nine candidates are listed, and the election date is Nov. 3, 2026.
For Austill, the verified profile is limited to the candidate’s name, NNE designation, office sought and election date. Future official filings may add campaign finance figures, while candidate statements or other formal records may establish positions on federal policy questions.
