No biography is on file for Diaz.

Figures for campaign funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are not on file. Those entries should not be read as zero-dollar totals.

Positions and campaign money

No candidate in the SC-1 field has a documented policy position on file. That means the roster establishes candidacy and political designation but does not establish where any candidate stands on an issue.

Campaign-finance figures also are not on file for any of the 23 candidates. There are no listed totals for money raised, money spent or cash on hand. A missing figure is different from a reported total of zero: it does not establish how much a campaign has collected, used or retained.

Election details

The election is for South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District seat in the U.S. House. It is listed as a contested general election, meaning more than one candidate is seeking the office. Election Day is Nov. 3, 2026.

The candidate roster and later policy or financial entries remain important points to follow as the election process continues. Those records can clarify whether the field changes and whether candidates document issue positions or campaign activity before voters cast ballots.
