The U.S. Senate race
Owen Nicholas Carlson is running in Hawaii’s contested U.S. Senate general election on Nov. 3, 2026. Carlson is listed with the label LBL. The other candidate in the race is Gavin Solomon, a Republican.
The race listing establishes the candidates’ names and labels, the office they are seeking, the type of election and the election date. It does not assign either candidate a policy platform. Neither candidate has documented policy positions on file, so there is no recorded basis for describing where Carlson or Solomon stands on specific issues.
The election is identified as a general election. Voters will see a contest between two candidates carrying different labels: Carlson as LBL and Solomon as Republican. No vote tally is attached to the race because the election is scheduled for 2026.
Owen Nicholas Carlson
Carlson’s candidate entry identifies Carlson as an LBL candidate for the U.S. Senate seat. No candidate biography is on file. That means the entry does not state Carlson’s occupation, education, previous public service or other personal background.
Carlson also has no documented policy positions on file. There is no recorded Carlson position to describe on any issue in the Senate race. The absence of a documented position does not support assigning Carlson a view based on the LBL label or making assumptions about priorities.
No campaign finance amounts are on file for Carlson. The entries for funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand each carry no reported amount. Those categories therefore do not offer a financial comparison with Carlson’s opponent at this stage of the race.
Gavin Solomon
Solomon’s candidate entry identifies Solomon as a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate seat. No candidate biography is on file. The entry does not state Solomon’s occupation, education, previous public service or other personal background.
Solomon also has no documented policy positions on file. There is no recorded Solomon position to describe on any issue in the Senate race. The absence of a documented position does not support assigning Solomon a view based on the Republican label or making assumptions about priorities.
No campaign finance amounts are on file for Solomon. The entries for funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand each carry no reported amount. Those categories therefore do not offer a financial comparison with Solomon’s opponent at this stage of the race.
Comparing the candidates
The official candidate entries distinguish Carlson and Solomon by name and label. Carlson appears as LBL, while Solomon appears as Republican. Both are seeking the same U.S. Senate office in the same Nov. 3, 2026, general election.
Their entries are otherwise alike in the main categories listed. Neither candidate has a biography on file. Neither has a documented policy position on file. Neither has an amount on file for funds raised, funds spent or cash on hand.
Those entries do not show differences in experience, policy or campaign finances. They also do not establish support for either candidate. A candidate’s label alone is not a documented statement of that candidate’s position on a particular issue.
What comes next
The central process milestone is the Nov. 3, 2026, general election. Before then, the race record may add candidate details, documented issue positions or campaign finance amounts. Any such entries would create additional points voters could use to compare Carlson and Solomon.
For now, the contest is defined by two listed candidates: Owen Nicholas Carlson, LBL, and Gavin Solomon, Republican. Both are running for the U.S. Senate in Hawaii’s 2026 general election, and neither has a documented policy platform or financial amount on file.
