Full profile
Washington’s 2026 U.S. Senate contest has two candidates: Delbert Eugene MR Brisco, identified as a Conservative, and Gavin Solomon, identified as a Republican. They are competing in the general election scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026.
The race is classified as contested because more than one candidate is seeking the same office. In this context, “contested” describes a competitive election rather than a legal challenge or dispute over the election. Voters will have a choice between two candidates with different political labels.
Neither candidate has listed policy positions. Campaign finance figures for money raised, money spent and cash on hand also are not listed for either campaign.
Delbert Eugene MR Brisco
Delbert Eugene MR Brisco is running with the Conservative designation. He is one of the two candidates seeking Washington’s U.S. Senate seat in the 2026 general election.
Brisco has not listed positions on specific policy questions. His political designation identifies him as the Conservative candidate in this contest, but it does not by itself establish where he stands on individual issues that may come before the U.S. Senate.
No campaign biography is listed for Brisco. Figures for his campaign’s fundraising, spending and cash on hand also are not listed. Those details may become relevant points of comparison as voters assess the candidates before the general election.
Gavin Solomon
Gavin Solomon is running with the Republican designation. He is one of the two candidates seeking Washington’s U.S. Senate seat in the 2026 general election.
Solomon has not listed positions on specific policy questions. His political designation identifies him as the Republican candidate in this contest, but it does not by itself establish where he stands on individual issues that may come before the U.S. Senate.
No campaign biography is listed for Solomon. Figures for his campaign’s fundraising, spending and cash on hand also are not listed. Those details may become relevant points of comparison as voters assess the candidates before the general election.
What separates the candidates so far
The clearest stated distinction is the candidates’ political designations: Conservative for Brisco and Republican for Solomon. No documented issue positions establish how either candidate would approach legislation, federal spending or other matters handled by the U.S. Senate.
That leaves several basic parts of the race still to take shape. Policy statements would give voters direct points of comparison. Candidate biographies could provide information about their experience and backgrounds. Campaign finance totals could show how much each campaign has raised, spent and retained.
Until those details emerge, the race can be described in straightforward terms: two candidates with different political labels are competing for the same U.S. Senate office. The election date is Nov. 3, 2026.
What voters should watch
As the campaign develops, the main questions are whether Brisco and Solomon release specific policy positions and how they explain their priorities for the office. Those positions would allow voters to compare the candidates on more than their political designations.
Campaign finance information is another point to watch. Raised, spent and cash-on-hand totals are not yet listed for either candidate. Voters can also watch for biographical details that explain each candidate’s experience and reasons for seeking the U.S. Senate seat.
