Eva Lopez Chavez is listed as a Democratic candidate for the U.S. House in Utah’s 1st Congressional District. The contested general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026.

The race has 15 listed candidates: 10 Democrats, three Republicans, one Libertarian and one candidate with an “Other” affiliation. The entries do not include biographies, campaign finance figures or documented policy positions for any candidate.

Eva Lopez Chavez’s record

Chavez’s entry identifies the candidate’s party as Democratic. No biography is on file, so the entry does not identify Chavez’s work history, education, public service or other background.

No figures are listed for money raised, money spent or cash on hand. A missing campaign finance figure is not the same as a reported total of zero; the entry does not state an amount.

There are also no documented policy positions on file for Chavez. That means the entry does not establish where Chavez stands on issues that may arise in the congressional race.

Campaign finance information

None of the 15 candidate entries contains figures for funds raised, funds spent or cash on hand. Those three measures address different parts of a campaign’s finances, and no amount is listed for any of them.

The entries therefore do not allow a financial comparison among Chavez, Hinckley, Walker, Kitchen, West, Lopez, Mcadams, Mohamed, Owen, Blouin, Riebe, Farrell, Tomkins, Fonua and Villarreal.

Policy positions and election date

No documented policy positions are listed for any candidate in the race. Assigning a stance to Chavez or any opponent without a documented position would go beyond the official entries.

The next stated date for this race is the Utah general election on Nov. 3, 2026. Voters will need later official entries to track any additions to candidate biographies, financial figures or documented policy positions.

What to watch
