All 11 candidates are running in the same contested Nebraska U.S. Senate election:

Where the candidates stand

None of the 11 candidates has a documented policy position on file. That includes Solomon and every other candidate in the contested field.

The records therefore establish each candidate’s name and political label, while also identifying Ricketts as the incumbent. They do not establish positions on specific issues for Solomon, Carlson, Ricketts, Sasse, Schultz, Stevens, Burbank, Dunn, Forbes, Marvin or Osborn.

The absence of documented positions means the candidates cannot yet be compared on issues within these records. The same is true for campaign money: no funds-raised, funds-spent or cash-on-hand figures are on file for any candidate.

Election timeline

The next stated milestone is the Nebraska general election on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. The U.S. Senate race is contested, with Solomon appearing alongside 10 other candidates.

Changes to the candidate field, documented issue positions and campaign-finance entries could add information about the race before Election Day. As those parts of the record develop, voters will be able to compare the candidates beyond their names, labels and incumbent status.

What to watch

  • Changes to the candidate field
  • Newly documented policy positions
  • Campaign-finance entries before Election Day
