— 2026 State & Federal Races —
U.S. Senate & State Offices
State and federal races are administered by the Kentucky Secretary of State, not the county clerk. Below are the November 3 general-election matchups for the races that include Hardin County voters, along with the on-demand primary interviews Hardin Local aired. Several primaries produced nominees we did not interview in the spring; those nominees are noted.
Correction, Sept. 22, 2026: An earlier version of this page said Joseph Redmon (R) was unopposed in November for State Representative, 27th District. Susan C. Doman (D) filed for that seat on Jan. 5, 2026, per the Kentucky Secretary of State, and is on the November 3 ballot. We also added two candidates the page was missing: Christopher Campbell (Kentucky Party) for U.S. Senate and Thomas A. Loecken (Independent) for U.S. House, 2nd District.

About this page. Because state and federal races aren't on the Hardin County Clerk filing list we use as source of truth for the rest of these pages, we may have missed candidates who filed with the state but did not appear on local outreach lists. For the official, complete ballot, please consult the Kentucky State Board of Elections. Order below is by office, then by ballot order where known.
