The 2026 Senate race
William M. Cassidy is running as a Republican in Louisiana’s U.S. Senate general election on Nov. 3, 2026. He is the incumbent, meaning he currently holds the office involved in this election.
The election is contested, with 21 candidates listed. The field consists of 15 Republicans, five Democrats and one candidate whose designation is W. A party designation identifies a candidate’s affiliation in the race, but it does not by itself explain the candidate’s views on public issues.
Cassidy’s candidacy
Cassidy’s documented details identify him as a Republican and the incumbent. No policy positions are documented for him in this race, so his views on specific federal issues are not stated in the candidate listing.
Campaign fundraising, spending and cash-on-hand figures are not on file for Cassidy. Those figures, when filed, can show how much money a campaign has collected, how much it has spent and how much remains available for campaign activity.

Policy and campaign information
No documented policy positions are listed for any of the 21 candidates. That means the race listing does not establish where Cassidy or any of his opponents stand on particular issues. A candidate’s party affiliation should not be treated as a substitute for a stated position.
Fundraising, spending and cash-on-hand figures are not on file for any candidate in the field. As the election proceeds, candidate filings and documented statements may give voters additional ways to compare the campaigns before Election Day.
