Full profile
Alexander Valiensi Kent is running as an independent candidate for the U.S. House in Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District. The contested general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026, and includes nine candidates.
Kent is one of two candidates in the race listed as independent. The field also includes five Democrats, one Republican and one candidate listed with the designation NNE.
Kent’s background and campaign
No biography is on file for Kent. That leaves basic questions about the candidate’s work history, education, community involvement and previous public service unanswered at this stage of the election.
Campaign finance totals are also not on file. There are no listed figures for how much Kent has raised, how much the campaign has spent or how much cash it has on hand.
Those figures, when reported, can help voters understand how a candidate is financing a campaign and what resources the campaign has available. They do not establish a candidate’s level of public support or determine the outcome of an election.
Where Kent stands
Kent has no documented policy positions on file. No position is listed on issues before Congress or matters affecting Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District.
A candidate’s party designation should not be treated as a substitute for stated positions. Kent’s independent label identifies the candidate’s listing in the race, but it does not by itself establish where Kent stands on any particular issue.
The same standard applies across the field: positions should be attributed to candidates only when they have stated or documented them.

What voters can track
The general election date is Nov. 3, 2026. Before then, voters can watch for documented statements from Kent and the other candidates explaining their priorities and positions.
Campaign finance filings may also add figures for money raised, money spent and cash on hand. Candidate biographies may provide further details about professional experience, education, public service and ties to the district. Until candidates document those details, the established facts about Kent are limited to the candidate’s name, independent designation, district and place in the 2026 general-election field.
