What the official entries establish

The entries identify each candidate’s name, recorded affiliation, incumbent status where applicable, and campaign-finance totals. They do not document policy positions, so the candidates’ views on legislation and issues cannot be stated from these official entries.

The listed fundraising and spending figures describe campaign finances; they do not indicate voter support or determine the election result. Voters will choose among the candidates in the general election on Nov. 3, 2026.
