Heath Vincent Fulkerson: California U.S. Senate candidate

Heath Vincent Fulkerson is running as a Republican in California’s contested 2026 U.S. Senate general election. The election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026, and the field includes six candidates: three Democrats, two Republicans and one independent.

Fulkerson has no biography or documented policy positions on file. His reported fundraising and spending are both zero, and a cash-on-hand figure is not listed. The other five candidates have the same reported financial totals and also have no biographies or documented policy positions on file.

The six-candidate field

The current candidate list provides each candidate’s name, party designation and financial totals. It does not establish differences among the candidates on specific public policy questions.

• Owen Carlson is listed as a Democratic candidate. No biography or documented policy position is on file. Reported funds raised and spent are both zero, while cash on hand is not listed.

• Heath Vincent Fulkerson is listed as a Republican candidate. No biography or documented policy position is on file. Reported funds raised and spent are both zero, while cash on hand is not listed.

Background and policy positions

No candidate in this six-person field has a biography on file. That includes Carlson, Fulkerson, Mcgurr, Pulliam, Ram and Solomon.

There are also no documented policy positions on file for any of the candidates. As a result, the candidate entries do not identify where they stand on particular federal or California issues. Their listed party designations are Democrat for Carlson, Mcgurr and Ram; Republican for Fulkerson and Solomon; and independent for Pulliam.

Campaign finance snapshot

Each candidate currently has zero reported funds raised and zero reported funds spent. That applies equally to Carlson, Fulkerson, Mcgurr, Pulliam, Ram and Solomon. Cash-on-hand amounts are not listed for any of the six campaigns.

These figures create the same financial snapshot for every candidate in the race. Future reported totals may provide additional information about campaign fundraising and spending, but the current entries do not show a financial difference among the six candidates.

Election timeline

The California U.S. Senate contest is listed as a contested general election. Voting is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026.

Before then, key additions could include candidate biographies, documented policy positions, updated fundraising and spending totals, and cash-on-hand figures. Those updates would give voters more points of comparison across the full field without changing the need to review each candidate by the same standard.
