Steven Merrill and the UT-3 election

Merrill’s entry does not include a candidate biography. Figures for funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are not on file. There also are no documented policy positions on file for Merrill, so his positions on issues before Congress are not established in the official entry.

Party and incumbent information
The field has three Republican entries: David Harris, Phillip Kay Lyman and Celeste Maloy. Merrill and Kent Dr. Udell are listed as Democrats. Michael Ray Stoddard and Michael Stoddard are listed as Libertarians, Cassie Easley is listed as Conservative, and Hooslyn and Scott carry the UN label.

What voters can track
The candidate list, campaign finance entries and documented policy positions may develop before the general election. Those records will show whether Merrill or any other candidate files fundraising and spending figures, adds biographical information, or establishes positions on issues handled by Congress.
The official candidate field also remains important because the current list contains multiple candidates sharing party labels and two separate Libertarian entries with similar names. Voters can check future election records for changes to names, party labels or the candidates listed for Nov. 3, 2026.
