Ohio U.S. House District 6 2026: where the candidates stand on data centers

2 candidates on the November 3, 2026 ballot, from the Federal Election Commission'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: FEC candidate master file (cn26): every candidate who filed for 2026, not the state's ballot (the FEC bulk file as downloaded October 9, 2026).

No longer in this race 3

These candidates are off the November 3 ballot. Each line gives the status, the day and the source; what each has said about data centers stays on their own page.

A candidate leaves a race before the general election by losing the primary, withdrawing or being disqualified, and the record writes it only where a source says so. How the record follows each candidacy.

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.
