Policy and campaign finance
No documented policy stance is on file for any of the 10 candidate entries. Their positions on specific federal issues therefore cannot be compared from the entries in the race.
The same applies to campaign finance. No amount is on file for funds raised, funds spent or cash on hand for Maloy, Stoddard, Udell, Easley, Harris, Hooslyn, Lyman, Merrill, Scott or the separately listed Michael Stoddard entry. No fundraising or spending comparison can be made among the candidates from those fields.
Party and affiliation labels are listed for every candidate. Those labels are Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Conservative and UN. They are the only distinctions listed beyond Maloy’s status as the incumbent.
Election details
The general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. The race is for the U.S. House seat representing Utah’s 3rd Congressional District.
Important next steps include any changes to the candidate field and the filing of candidate biographies, policy positions or campaign finance figures. Those developments would give voters more information about the people seeking the seat, their priorities and the financial activity associated with their campaigns.
