Kentucky U.S. House District 5 2026: where the candidates stand on data centers
4 candidates on the November 3, 2026 ballot, from the Kentucky Secretary of State's list (opens in a new tab). The officeholder comes first, then the Republican and Democratic nominees together by last name, then everyone else by last name; in each group a candidate with a statement or vote on the record comes first (how the order works). Each has the same space. The list: Candidate Filings, Election: 2026 General Election (Kentucky Secretary of State); US Senator at Default.aspx?id=3 and US Representative at Default.aspx?id=4 (The pages state no certification or as of date; each row carries its own filing date (latest filing shown: 8/21/2026)).
President Donald Trump introduced the Ratepayer Protection Pledge, committing utilities, data center developers, cooperatives and states not to pass the costs of data centers on to American families and businesses. Several Kentucky utility companies signed the pledge, which now has more than 300 signatures nationwide, covering 80 percent of all power delivered in America.
These candidates are not printed on the November 3 ballot. A voter writes in the name, and the votes count because an official election list certifies the candidacy: the state's own, or a county election board's where the state publishes none. Each line names the list that certifies it; what each has said about data centers stays on their own page.
Labels are applied by the record's published rules: two readings of each statement, and a third that reads its source where the two differ. Every label sits beside its statement and its source, and any label can be challenged through Report a change, with the correction logged on the corrections page.
