Policy positions

The candidate field does not yet have documented positions on issues such as the federal budget, immigration, health care, housing or national security. That means the candidates cannot be compared on specific policy proposals at this stage of the race.

Arnold’s party affiliation identifies Arnold as a Republican candidate, but it does not establish an individual position on any issue. The same standard applies to every candidate: a party label is not a substitute for a documented stance.

Campaign finance and election process

Blockey is the only candidate in the field with fundraising and spending totals on file. No cash-on-hand figure is on file for Blockey. The other 15 candidates do not have fundraising, spending or cash-on-hand figures on file.

The general election remains scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. Changes to the candidate field, policy records and campaign finance figures will determine how much more voters can compare before Election Day.
