Full profile
Tom Bailey, a Libertarian, is running for the U.S. House in North Carolina’s 1st Congressional District. The contested general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026.
Bailey is one of eight candidates identified in the race. No biography is on file for him, and there are no documented policy positions that can be attributed to his campaign. Fundraising, spending and cash-on-hand totals also are not on file.
That record establishes Bailey’s candidacy and party affiliation but does not establish his professional background, government experience or views on issues before Congress. His Libertarian label identifies his party; it should not be treated as a substitute for positions stated by Bailey himself.
What the record says about Bailey
Bailey is seeking a seat in the U.S. House as a Libertarian. The office represents North Carolina’s 1st Congressional District at the federal level, and the election listed for this race is the 2026 general election.
There are no documented positions on file for Bailey. That means no position can be assigned to him on taxes, federal spending, health care, immigration, agriculture, the military or any other policy area. An absence of a documented position should not be interpreted as either support for or opposition to a proposal.
No campaign finance totals are on file for Bailey. There is therefore no recorded amount to report for funds raised, funds spent or cash on hand.

What voters can determine now
The official entries identify who is associated with the race, each candidate’s party and whether a candidate is the incumbent. For Bailey, those entries identify him as the Libertarian candidate and do not list an incumbent status.
They do not establish differences among the candidates on policy. Because no documented policy positions are on file for anyone in the field, voters cannot use this record to compare their positions on specific federal issues.
The same limitation applies to campaign money. With no totals on file for any candidate, there is no recorded basis here for comparing fundraising, spending or remaining cash among the eight campaigns.
What comes next
The general election is set for Nov. 3, 2026. Before then, voters can watch for additions to candidate biographies, documented policy statements and campaign finance totals. Those records would make it possible to compare the candidates’ experience, priorities and campaign activity without relying only on party labels.
