Melvin Milivoj Mr. Jr. Marin is running as a Democrat for the U.S. House in Wisconsin’s 3rd Congressional District. The seat is part of the Nov. 3, 2026, general election, and the race is contested by nine candidates.

Marin’s candidate entry does not include a biography. It also lists no totals for money raised, money spent or cash on hand. No policy positions are documented for Marin.

Marin’s place in the race

Marin is one of five candidates in the race who are identified as Democrats. The other Democratic candidates are Laura S Benjamin, Emily Berge, Rebecca Cooke and Rodney Rave.

The field also includes two candidates identified as independents: Alexander Valiensi Kent and Jayte Ryan Mr. Welch. Rustin Levem Provance is identified with the designation NNE. Derrick F. Mr. Van Orden is identified as a Republican and the incumbent.

The candidate entries do not list biographies, campaign finance totals or documented policy positions for any of the nine candidates. That means the entries establish each candidate’s name, party or designation and, in Van Orden’s case, incumbent status, but do not establish where the candidates stand on issues.
