Four candidates are listed in New York’s contested 2026 general election for U.S. Senate: Racheal Alisa Johnson, Joseph Anthony Kohler, Patricia Annette Miss Mance and Gavin Solomon. The election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026.

The candidate entries identify Johnson and Kohler as Democrats, Solomon as a Republican, and Mance with the designation “NYC.” No biographies, campaign finance figures or documented policy positions are on file for any of the four candidates.

The New York U.S. Senate race

The race will decide a U.S. Senate seat representing New York. It is listed as a contested general election, meaning voters will have more than one candidate to choose from.

The four candidate entries do not include issue statements. They also do not list how much any candidate has raised or spent, or how much cash each campaign has on hand. Those fields therefore do not offer voters a financial comparison among the campaigns at this stage.

The four candidates

Racheal Alisa Johnson is listed as a Democratic candidate in the New York U.S. Senate general election. No biography is on file for Johnson. Her funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are not on file. She also has no documented policy positions on file.

Joseph Anthony Kohler is listed as a Democratic candidate in the New York U.S. Senate general election. No biography is on file for Kohler. His funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are not on file. He also has no documented policy positions on file.

Patricia Annette Miss Mance is listed in the New York U.S. Senate general election with the designation “NYC.” No biography is on file for Mance. Her funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are not on file. She also has no documented policy positions on file.

Gavin Solomon is listed as a Republican candidate in the New York U.S. Senate general election. No biography is on file for Solomon. His funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are not on file. He also has no documented policy positions on file.

Solomon’s record and positions

Solomon’s candidate entry establishes his name, Republican label and participation in the Nov. 3, 2026, general election. It does not list details about his personal history, education, occupation, previous public service or other background.

There are also no documented positions for Solomon on issues before New York voters. That includes no recorded platform that could be used here to describe his approach to the office. The same is true for Johnson, Kohler and Mance: none has a documented policy position on file.

Campaign finance fields are also unfilled for all four candidates. No totals are listed for money raised, money spent or cash on hand for Solomon, Johnson, Kohler or Mance.

What voters can track

The central dates and names are set out in the race listing: four candidates are identified, the office is U.S. Senate, and Election Day is Nov. 3, 2026. The next additions to watch are candidate biographies, documented issue positions and campaign finance figures.

Those records would give voters more ways to compare the candidates beyond their names and listed political designations. Until such entries appear, the four candidates’ backgrounds, policy priorities and campaign finances are not detailed in the race record.

What to watch

  • Candidate biography filings
  • Documented policy positions
