Background, positions and campaign money

No biographical details are documented for Solomon or the other candidates in the race. The race records also do not document a policy position for Solomon or any other candidate. That means there is no official basis here to describe where any candidate stands on taxes, health care, abortion, immigration, foreign policy or other issues.

Fundraising, spending and cash-on-hand figures are not listed for any candidate. Those figures therefore cannot be used to compare the campaigns at this stage. The general election remains scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026.
