Foltz’s candidacy
Foltz is identified as a Republican candidate for the U.S. House seat representing Missouri’s 5th District. No candidate biography is on file for him.
No documented policy positions are on file for Foltz. That means the official record does not establish his views on federal spending, taxes, health care, immigration, foreign policy or other matters Congress may consider. A party label identifies how a candidate is listed but does not, by itself, establish that candidate’s position on a specific issue.
Campaign finance amounts for funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are also not on file for Foltz. Without those figures, there is no official total to report for his campaign’s fundraising, spending or remaining money.

What the records establish
The candidate list establishes each person’s name and party designation for this contested U.S. House race. It also identifies Cleaver as the incumbent, meaning he currently holds the office.
For every candidate, the same three campaign finance categories are listed without amounts: funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand. No documented policy positions are on file for any candidate in the field. Voters therefore cannot use these records alone to compare the candidates’ views on specific issues or their campaign finances.
Election date and next steps
The general election is set for Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. Before voting, voters can watch for official updates to candidate records, including biographies, policy statements and campaign finance totals.
Those additions would allow direct comparisons among all 12 candidates. Until then, the established distinctions in the race are the candidates’ names, their listed party affiliations and Cleaver’s status as the incumbent.
