Sources and status
How candidate records are reviewed
This is a public, read-only directory of Republican candidates for the 2026 U.S. Senate and U.S. House elections. It helps you find records by state and local area and see the public sources behind each listing.
01
What every record includes
- Candidate, race and voting area
- Source status and date reviewed
- Official election reference
- Public source used to identify the candidate
02
What the status means
- Certified official listing
- The candidate, office and district were matched to an official general-election list.
- Reported party nominee
- A public source identifies the nominee, but the final official ballot was not independently checked.
- Official primary winner
- An official source shows the primary result; final general-election ballot placement still needs confirmation.
- Open-primary candidate
- The candidate appears in an open-primary process and a runoff may still be required.
- Official qualifying list
- The candidate appears on an official qualifying list; ballot placement remains subject to the state process.
03
How location works
Selecting a county or local equivalent shows the congressional districts that intersect that area. Some areas contain more than one district, so your exact home address and official sample ballot determine your final U.S. House race.
04
Sources and updates
Each record links to an official election reference and the public source used to identify the candidate. The review date shows when those links were last checked.
This directory is a published snapshot, not a real-time election system. When an official source changes, the record can be reviewed and republished with a new review date.
