The November ballot
Raised so far, filed with the FEC
Also in this race: Jesse West (Libertarian), Elias Henry Montgomery (Independent) and Babak "Bobby" Darvish (write-in).
Certified list: Utah Lieutenant Governor; 2026 Candidate Filings, last updated 9/08/2026: every filer's status, including the write-in candidate and those out in convention, out in primary, withdrawn or disqualified. Faces and bars are the campaigns that hold the seat or have $25,000 raised or outside spending on file; being outside that group is a filing fact, not a mark. A candidate marked write-in is certified to run and their votes count; their name is not printed on the ballot. Not a prediction.
