What voters can verify now

The election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026, and the office at stake is one of Louisiana’s seats in the U.S. Senate. The race is contested, so voters will have multiple choices on the general election ballot.

Emerson’s listed party affiliation tells voters that she is running as a Republican, but it does not establish where she stands on particular federal issues. Documented positions would give voters a basis for comparing her priorities with those of the other candidates. Campaign finance filings, when listed, can show money raised, money spent and cash remaining, but no such figures are listed for any candidate in this race.

What to watch

  • Whether candidate biographies and policy positions are added
  • Whether campaign finance totals are filed or listed
  • Any changes to the candidate list before the election
  • Official ballot information for the Nov. 3, 2026, election
