How I source this information
Party affiliations, ballot access, and campaign status are based on publicly available records from official election and campaign-finance sources. Information may change as filings are updated or election officials publish revised materials.
- Gubernatorial candidates: Maine campaign finance portal mainecampaignfinance.com
- Federal candidates (U.S. Senate and U.S. House): official federal election listings fec.gov
- Maine primary ballot access: Maine Secretary of State's 2026 Primary Candidate List-FINAL
These records are updated when campaigns file changes, so there can be a delay between public announcements (for example, suspending a campaign or shifting to a different race) and the official status shown here. An asterisk (*) next to a candidate's campaign status indicates that recent public reporting suggests a different status than the most recent official filing Pine Tree Key relies on.
