Policy and campaign finance records
No candidate in the listed field has a documented policy position on file. That means the official records do not establish where Kelley, Kirtley, Vitus, Hanni, Kripchak, Barrick, Ritchie, Connolly, Lafont or Rulli stands on specific issues.
Campaign finance figures are also not on file for any of the 10 candidates. There are no listed totals for money raised, money spent or cash on hand for any candidate, so the field cannot yet be compared through those figures.
Election timeline
The Ohio 2026 general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. Because the 6th District race is contested, voters will have a choice among candidates. Future official candidate records and campaign finance filings may give voters more information about the candidates’ backgrounds, priorities and campaign activity before Election Day.
