The same applies to campaign finance figures across the field. No funds-raised total, funds-spent total or cash-on-hand figure is on file for any candidate. Those figures would show how much money a campaign has taken in, how much it has used and how much remains available.
Election timeline
The general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. Voters in Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District will choose among candidates seeking the district’s seat in the U.S. House.
The race is contested, and Van Orden is the only candidate identified as the incumbent. No winner can be determined until voters cast ballots and the election process is completed.
