Policy and campaign finance

There are no documented policy positions on file for any of the 14 candidates. That means the record does not establish where Onyejiaka or the other candidates stand on federal issues that could come before the U.S. Senate.

Campaign finance totals also are not on file for any candidate. The listed fields cover money raised, money spent and cash on hand. Those figures can help voters understand how campaigns are funded and how much money they have available to spend, but none can be reported for this field.

Election date

The Tennessee general election is set for Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. The U.S. Senate contest is marked as contested, meaning more than one candidate is seeking the office. Bill Hagerty is the only candidate in the field identified as the incumbent.
