Notes on the official list

  • The Secretary of State's candidate list does not say whether it is certified; it notes that candidates are added once their filing paperwork is received.
  • The Democratic U.S. Senate nominee, Julian Beaudion, is marked withdrawn on August 4, 2026 and the list shows no replacement; the Secretary of State's withdrawal page quotes the state law that keeps a withdrawn nominee's name off the ballot, so we left him out.
