The 2026 Senate race
C.l. Chuck JR Smith is running as a Republican in Virginia’s contested U.S. Senate general election, scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. Smith is one of 14 candidates listed in the race and one of eight running with a Republican label.
The field also includes four Democrats, one independent candidate and one candidate listed with the label NNE. Mark Robert Warner, a Democrat, is the incumbent in the race.
No biography is on file for Smith. The record also lists no totals for funds raised, funds spent or cash on hand, which is the campaign money remaining. Smith has no documented policy positions on file, so the Republican label is the only listed information about where the candidate stands.

What is documented about Smith
Smith’s official listing establishes the candidate’s name, Republican affiliation and participation in the 2026 Virginia U.S. Senate contest. It does not establish a professional background, public-service history, campaign finances or positions on issues.
That distinction matters for voters comparing the candidates. A party label identifies how a candidate is listed in the race, but Smith has no separate documented positions on specific policies. The same is true for every other candidate currently listed in the contest.
What comes next
The general election is set for Nov. 3, 2026. Before then, voters can track whether the candidate field changes and whether biographies, campaign finance totals or policy positions are added to the official record.
Those updates could give voters more information for comparing Smith with Aldous D Mina, Bert K Mizusawa, Mark Moran, Bryce Reeves, Jason Stephen Reynolds, Owen Nicholas Carlson, Lorita Dr. Daniels, Gavin Solomon, Alex DE Paula, Mark Robert Warner, Gregory Eichelberger, David Earl Mr. Williams and Kim Farington. The race remains listed as contested.
