Notes on the official list

• The Department of Elections list is titled Filed Candidates by Office, marks each candidate Qualified or Withdrawn, and says it is updated periodically. It does not say the list is certified or final, so certified is false. The list's last-updated date was October 27, 2026, the day we read it.
• Lee Murphy (Republican, U.S. House) is marked Withdrawn as of July 21, 2026, before the September 15 primary, so he is not included.
• No Libertarian, Independent Party of Delaware, other minor-party or unaffiliated candidate is listed for U.S. Senate or U.S. House. People who declared as write-in candidates for these offices are left out.
• Delaware has no governor election in 2026.
