Where the candidates stand
The candidate records do not document a policy position for Solomon or any of the other nine candidates. That means the party designations in the race cannot be used as a substitute for each candidate’s own stated views.
The records also list no biographical details that would establish the candidates’ education, occupations, prior public service or community experience. Lummis is identified as the incumbent, but no additional background is listed for her or the other candidates.
Likewise, there are no figures on file for money raised, money spent or cash on hand for any of the campaigns. Without those totals, the candidates’ campaign finances cannot be compared.
What happens next
The candidate field and other election records may change as the 2026 election process continues. Candidate filings and ballot certification will determine the names and party labels that appear on the general election ballot.
Campaign finance reports may add figures for fundraising, spending and cash on hand. Official candidate filings or statements may also establish policy positions. Until then, the listed party affiliations, Lummis’ incumbent status and the Nov. 3, 2026, election date are the central recorded facts about the race.
