Notes on the official list
- The Secretary of State's candidate list (last updated August 19, 2026, the deadline for filling ballot vacancies) does not say whether it is certified.
- Party labels are as the Secretary of State's candidate list prints them, including "No Party" for Michael Bridgford (District 1) and Dave Bushaw (District 2). We did not have a sample ballot to check the wording printed on the ballot.
