Policy positions and campaign money
There are no documented policy positions on file for any candidate in the race. That means no candidate can yet be compared through official records on subjects such as federal spending, immigration, health care, public lands or other matters Congress may consider.
Campaign finance figures also are not on file for any candidate. The race listing does not currently include amounts raised, amounts spent or cash on hand for West or the other 14 candidates.
What voters can track
The candidate lineup, documented issue positions and campaign finance figures are the main records to track as the election process continues. Those records can help voters distinguish a candidate’s stated priorities from the broader meaning of a party affiliation.
The general election date is Nov. 3, 2026. Ballot and candidate information may become more detailed as election officials update the race and candidates make official filings.
