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.
