ShowWhere these names and labels come from.

Every name, party label and ballot order comes from the state's official candidate list, linked under each race. Independent and third-party candidates appear wherever the state lists them; write-in candidates appear only when the state prints them on the ballot.

"Incumbent" marks the 37 candidates whose current term in that seat appears in official term data: the Biographical Directory of the U.S. Congress for senators, and USA.gov's state government pages for governors. It is checked each time the site updates.

GovGalaxy has no biography, campaign website or issue positions for candidates and doesn't add them from other sources.
