Policy positions and next steps

The official race record lists no documented policy positions for Malinowski or any of the other candidates. It also contains no candidate biographies. That means Malinowski’s entry establishes his party affiliation, the office he is seeking and his reported campaign finance totals, but it does not establish where he stands on issues before voters.

The candidate field and financial totals may change as the election process continues. Voters can watch for updated candidate filings, later campaign finance reports and additions to the official record before the Nov. 3 general election. Those filings may clarify the final ballot lineup and provide new financial information without indicating how the election will turn out.
