Utah’s U.S. Senate contest
Utah voters will choose between two candidates for U.S. Senate in the Nov. 3, 2026, general election. Bryan Lamont Sgt. Arrington is running with the label UN, while Owen Nicholas Carlson is running with the label ICD.
The race is contested because more than one candidate is seeking the office. In this case, the field consists of Arrington and Carlson. Neither candidate is running unopposed, so voters will have a direct choice between the two names in the general election.
The central question in the race is which candidate Utah voters will select to represent the state in the U.S. Senate. The election date is set, but the candidate information currently does not include documented positions on specific policies. That leaves the basic shape of the contest clear — two candidates seeking one office — without an established issue-by-issue contrast between them.
Bryan Lamont Sgt. Arrington
Bryan Lamont Sgt. Arrington is one of the two candidates in the Utah U.S. Senate general election. He is listed with the label UN. No documented policy positions are attached to his candidacy, so his views on specific federal issues cannot yet be described.
Arrington’s place in the field makes the race contested and gives Utah voters one of their two choices for the Senate seat. His full name and UN label distinguish his candidacy from Carlson’s on the current candidate list.
Owen Nicholas Carlson
Owen Nicholas Carlson is one of the two candidates in the Utah U.S. Senate general election. He is listed with the label ICD. No documented policy positions are attached to his candidacy, so his views on specific federal issues cannot yet be described.
Carlson’s place in the field makes the race contested and gives Utah voters one of their two choices for the Senate seat. His full name and ICD label distinguish his candidacy from Arrington’s on the current candidate list.
What is contested in the race
“Contested” describes the number of candidates in the election, not a disagreement over a particular policy. Arrington and Carlson are both seeking the same U.S. Senate office, and the general election will determine which candidate voters select.
There is not yet a documented policy contrast to outline between the candidates. Neither has a recorded stance here on any specific issue, so the race cannot presently be compared through positions on legislation, federal spending, foreign policy or other Senate matters.
The labels UN and ICD are listed with the candidates, but their meanings are not expanded. Voters following the race can watch how those labels are presented as the election proceeds and whether the candidates set out policy positions before voting concludes on Nov. 3, 2026.
Election timeline
The election is part of Utah’s 2026 general election and is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 3. Both candidates are competing in that same statewide contest.
Between now and Election Day, the main developments to watch are any changes to the candidate field, the official presentation of the candidates and their labels, and the release of specific policy positions. Those developments would give voters more detail for comparing Arrington and Carlson while leaving the final choice to the general election.
