Who's running for Delaware's U.S. House seat

The standardized public record for every 2026 candidate for Delaware's single at-large seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. Same fields for every candidate, every figure linked to its primary source.

2026 election Voter registration for the November 3 general election closes Saturday, October 10, at 11:59 p.m. How to vote

How to read this. Every candidate below is shown with the same fields in the same order, whether they hold the office now or are running for the first time. Campaign-finance figures are the raw amounts each candidate disclosed to the Federal Election Commission, with the reporting period. Positions are the candidate's own words, quoted and dated. Where a candidate has no record for a field, such as a first-time candidate with no voting history, the record says so plainly rather than leaving a blank. First State Lens draws no conclusions and ranks no one. Read the full method. We show you the record; you decide.
