# 2026 midterm elections: every race, head to head

Head to head, issue by issue.

Where the nominees stand in every 2026 race already set for November — every position drawn from the candidates’ own campaign sites and Ballotpedia records, with their words quoted verbatim.

The 70 battlegrounds are featured below; search reaches all 499 settled races, and the race indexes list every House, Senate and governor’s race in the cycle — including those still awaiting a primary. Positions reflect documented sources only: where a candidate hasn’t published one, we say so.

499 issue guides · 70 battlegrounds · 4655 issue matchups · 506 races tracked
