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.
