Shulli and the 2026 Senate race

John Shulli is a Republican candidate in Delaware’s contested 2026 U.S. Senate race. The general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. Eleven other candidates are listed in the contest, with Democratic, Republican and Independent affiliations.

Shulli has no biography on file. The record also lists no figures for funds raised, funds spent or cash on hand. No policy stance is documented for Shulli. Those campaign finance entries should not be read as zero-dollar amounts, and the absence of documented positions does not establish Shulli’s views on any issue.

Policy and campaign finance picture

No documented policy positions are on file for any of the 12 candidates. The race record therefore does not establish where Shulli or the other candidates stand on particular federal issues.

The same applies to campaign finance. No figures are on file for funds raised, funds spent or cash on hand for any candidate. These categories describe different parts of campaign activity: money collected, money used and the remaining balance. An entry marked as not on file is not a reported dollar amount.

Election timeline

Delaware’s general election will take place Nov. 3, 2026. The contest is for a U.S. Senate seat and is listed as contested, meaning more than one candidate is identified in the race.

The candidate field includes six Democrats, five Republicans and one Independent. Christopher A. Coons is the only candidate identified as the incumbent. The central process questions before Election Day are whether the candidate list changes and whether biographies, policy positions or campaign finance figures are added to the official record.

What to watch

  • Updates to the official candidate list
  • New candidate biographies or documented policy positions
  • Updates to funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand
  • Election notices ahead of Nov. 3, 2026
