The 2026 election

Puerto Rico’s State House District At-Large race will be decided in the Nov. 3, 2026, general election. The contest has 13 candidates, and every candidate in the field is identified as an incumbent.

Four parties are represented. Six candidates are affiliated with the Partido Nuevo Progresista, three with the Partido Popular Democrático, three with the Partido Independentista Puertorriqueño and one with Proyecto Dignidad.

Ramón Torres is one of the three Partido Popular Democrático candidates. His candidate entry identifies him as an incumbent but lists no biography, leaving his professional history, education and other personal background unspecified.

The at-large contest includes the following 13 candidates. Each is running as an incumbent in the same State House race:

Policy positions and campaign finances

No documented policy positions are on file for Torres or any of the other 12 candidates in this contest. Their views on specific issues therefore are not documented in the candidate entries.

Campaign finance figures also are not on file for any candidate in the field. That applies equally to total funds raised, total funds spent and cash on hand. Those figures cannot currently be used to compare campaign activity among Torres and the other candidates.

Biographies are likewise not on file for any of the 13 candidates. The consistent entries identify each candidate’s name, party affiliation and incumbent status without adding personal or professional background.

What comes next

The general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. Until then, the main process questions are whether the candidate field changes and whether policy, biographical or campaign finance entries are added.

Any later filings could give voters more information about the candidates’ backgrounds, issue positions and campaign activity. The current field remains a contested, four-party race in Puerto Rico’s State House at-large district.

What to watch

  • Possible changes to the candidate field
  • New documented policy positions
  • Future campaign finance filings
  • Additions to candidate biographies
