Full profile
Jim Himes is running as the Democratic incumbent in Connecticut’s 4th Congressional District, where the U.S. House general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. The race is contested and includes eight candidate entries representing the Democratic, Republican and Independent affiliations.
The candidate list identifies Himes’s party and incumbent status. It does not establish his background or positions on issues in the 2026 campaign.
Jim Himes at a glance
Himes is listed as a Democrat and the incumbent officeholder in CT-4. No biography is on file for him, and there are no documented policy positions that can be attributed to his campaign in this race.
His funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are also not on file. Those three figures therefore cannot be used to compare his campaign with the other listed candidates.

Dan Miressi and Daniel Miressi appear as separate candidate entries. Each is identified as a Republican, and the listing does not establish whether the entries refer to the same person or different people.
Policy and campaign information
No documented policy positions are on file for any of the eight listed candidates. That means the race record does not support attributing a position on any issue to Himes, Miressi, Perez-caputo, Bueno, Goldstein, Cerreta or Flynn.
The same limitation applies to campaign money. There are no listed amounts for funds raised, funds spent or cash on hand for any candidate, so no financial comparison can be made among the campaigns.
Election details
The contest is for the U.S. House seat representing Connecticut’s 4th District. The general election is set for Nov. 3, 2026.
The field may become clearer as the election process continues and candidate records, policy statements and campaign-finance figures are updated. Those developments will determine what voters can compare beyond each candidate’s name, party affiliation and Himes’s incumbent status.
