The candidates

Alphabetical order

This is a snapshot of the cited list; later changes and additional write-ins may not be included. La Shawn K. Ford is verified by his active general-election record. Chad Koppie’s party and candidacy are documented by the state primary record; general-ballot status remains unconfirmed in this snapshot. The full official general roster was blocked, so the list remains partial and Koppie is not labeled confirmed.
