About this list

The above list includes winners of the June 3 primary and persons who have filed affidavits of candidacy with the Secretary of State and who will appear on the November 4 ballot. The filing period for the November 4 general election for candidates not representing the two official parties is July 28-August 15 for presidential, congressional, and legislative candidates.  Ballot Access and Candidate Qualifications  The political parties may also nominate federal or legislative candidates by convention to fill ballot vacancies through August 15 (August 27 for county offices). Candidates will be added daily as they file.

The list also includes the presumed Democratic and Republican presidential nominees.

Upon filing nomination papers, all candidates complete an affidavit of candidacy form.  This includes a space for the candidate's phone number with the notation "Optional, will be published."  If no phone number is listed for a candidate on this web site, the candidate left the phone number space blank on the affidavit of candidacy. Contact information may be available from other public sources. Candidates who wish to add their phone numbers may contact our office.

The affidavit of candidacy form also includes a space for the candidate to list an e-mail address.  To e-mail a candidate, replace the italic AT in the address with the @ sign.  (The @ has been replaced with AT on this web site to block address harvesting software used by spammers.)

If no e-mail address is listed for a candidate, the candidate left the e-mail address space blank on the affidavit of candidacy. Candidates who wish to add their addresses may contact our office.

If a name appears underlined, the name is a link to the campaign website.  Candidates whose names are not underlined did not have campaign web sites.
