Race and election
Nine candidates are listed in the race: five Democrats, two independents, one Republican and one candidate whose affiliation is listed as NNE. Republican David Kustoff is the incumbent.

Hinders’ background and positions
Hinders’ official entry identifies him by full name, party and congressional race. It does not list employment history, public service, education or other biographical details.
Hinders also has no documented positions on file. That means no stance can be assigned to him on the economy, health care, immigration, taxes, foreign policy or any other issue. The absence of a documented position does not show support for or opposition to a policy.
The same limits apply to every candidate in the field. Their party or affiliation labels are listed, but those labels alone do not establish an individual candidate’s views.
What the record shows
The general election date, district, candidate names, listed affiliations and Kustoff’s incumbent status are the main points voters can compare at this stage. Campaign finance totals for money raised, money spent and cash on hand are not on file for any candidate.
Official candidate biographies, policy statements and campaign finance filings could give voters more points of comparison as the election approaches. Until those details appear, voters cannot use the official entries to compare the candidates’ work histories, campaign resources or positions on specific issues.
