Full profile
Race overview
Kentucky’s 6th Congressional District has a contested U.S. House election scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. The field lists 15 candidates: seven Republicans, five Democrats, one candidate with no party affiliation, one listed as NNE and one listed as Other.
Adam Perez Arquette is one of the seven Republican candidates. Garland Andy Barr is the only candidate identified as an incumbent. No biography, documented policy positions or campaign-finance figures are on file for any candidate in the race.
The absence of a documented position should not be read as support for or opposition to a policy. It means the candidate has no position recorded in the official record covered by this profile.

Policy positions
No documented policy positions are on file for Arquette, Plucinski, Barr, Quigley, Dembo, Shannon, Dotson, Stevenson, Edwards, Jay, Kloiber, Lynch, Alvarado, Petrey or Gordon.
That leaves no official basis for comparing where the candidates stand on issues. A party designation identifies how a candidate is listed in the race, but it does not establish that individual candidate’s position on a particular policy. Voters seeking a position from any candidate will need a direct, documented statement from that candidate.
Campaign finance and next steps
No figures for funds raised, funds spent or cash on hand are on file for any of the 15 candidates. “Not on file” does not mean a campaign raised or spent zero dollars; it means no dollar figure is listed.
The general election remains scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. Before voting, voters can watch for changes to the candidate field, campaign-finance entries, candidate biographies and documented statements on policy. Those additions would make it possible to compare the candidates’ backgrounds, campaign activity and positions using the same standards across the full field.
