Background and policy positions
No biography is on file for Bonds, Fleming, Lave, Roth, Achilles, Evans, Roy or Risch. The records therefore establish each candidate’s name and listed political affiliation but do not identify education, employment, military service, previous elected office or other biographical details.
None of the eight candidates has a documented policy position on file. That applies equally to questions involving the federal budget, taxes, public lands, immigration, health care, agriculture, energy, national security and other matters that may come before the U.S. Senate. A candidate’s listed political affiliation should not be treated as a substitute for a documented individual position.
Campaign finance record
No funds-raised, funds-spent or cash-on-hand figures are on file for any candidate in the race. That means there is no official dollar figure listed here for Bonds, Fleming, Lave, Roth, Achilles, Evans, Roy or Risch.
Campaign finance totals are separate from candidate biographies and policy positions. When figures are entered into official records, the key categories include how much a campaign has raised, how much it has spent and how much cash it has on hand. No totals in those categories are listed for this field.
Election date
The Idaho general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026. The U.S. Senate contest is marked as contested because it includes more than one candidate.
For this race, the central process points are the eight-candidate field, the political affiliation listed for each candidate and the general election date. Candidate records and campaign finance entries may add further details before Election Day, including information that allows voters to compare the candidates’ backgrounds, positions and campaign activity.
