Notes on the official list
- The certified list marks incumbents with an asterisk only in some state races and marks no candidate for Governor or U.S. House, so this file does not record incumbency for any candidate.
- The certified list prints Kevin Kiley's (District 6) party preference as "No Party Preference"; the Secretary of State says a candidate with no qualified-party preference is shown on the ballot itself as "Party Preference: None". We recorded the label as the certified list prints it.
