Full profile
The 2026 race
Jan Hochadel is the Democratic incumbent seeking election in Connecticut’s 13th State Senate District. The general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026.
Hochadel is currently the only candidate listed in the race. That makes the contest uncontested at this stage of the 2026 election cycle. No Republican, minor-party or unaffiliated candidate is listed for District 13.
The candidate listing identifies Hochadel as both a Democrat and the incumbent. Incumbent status means Hochadel already holds the seat being contested in this election. The record does not list another candidate whose experience, campaign or positions can be compared with Hochadel’s.
Hochadel’s background
No candidate biography is on file for Hochadel. Beyond Hochadel’s party affiliation and status as the sitting officeholder, the candidate record does not identify personal history, education, professional experience or prior offices.
Those omissions leave Hochadel’s official candidate profile limited to a few central facts: Hochadel is a Democrat, currently holds the District 13 seat and is listed as a candidate in the 2026 general election.
Voters evaluating the race can distinguish between those recorded facts and biographical claims that may appear elsewhere during the campaign. A biography could later add context about Hochadel’s experience, but none is currently part of the official candidate entry.
Policy positions
No documented policy positions are on file for Hochadel in this race. As a result, the candidate record does not establish Hochadel’s stance on any specific state issue.
That includes no recorded campaign position to summarize or compare on taxes, spending, education, health care, housing, transportation, public safety, energy or other subjects that may arise in a State Senate campaign. It would not be accurate to assign Hochadel a position on those issues without a documented statement.
The absence of listed positions does not itself indicate support for or opposition to any policy. It means voters do not yet have a set of documented 2026 campaign positions in the candidate entry.
Campaign finance information
No figures are on file for Hochadel’s campaign funds raised, funds spent or cash on hand. Each category is listed without an amount.
An unlisted figure is not the same as a reported total of zero. The current entry therefore cannot be used to calculate Hochadel’s fundraising, spending or remaining campaign balance. It also does not allow for a financial comparison because there is no listed opponent in the race.
Campaign finance figures, if added, would give voters separate measures of money received, money spent and money remaining. Until amounts are recorded, no dollar total can be attributed to Hochadel’s 2026 campaign.
What comes next
The central process question is whether the District 13 field changes before the Nov. 3 general election. Hochadel is the only candidate currently listed, so any addition to the field would change the race’s uncontested status.
Updates to Hochadel’s candidate biography, policy statements or campaign finance figures could also add information for voters before Election Day. For now, the official profile identifies the candidate, party, incumbency, district, election date and the race’s uncontested status.
