No pick
There's no candidate to team up behind here. The Democratic nominee, Emily Fisher, withdrew on 2026-08-26, and the only other name on the ballot is Constitution Party candidate Paul M Smith. The Constitution Party's platform runs to the right of the Republican Party, so backing its candidate would not bring non-Republican voters together, which is what this method is for. If you vote in this race, compare the candidates yourself.
