Sources and coverage
The statewide, congressional and legislative contests named in the Kent County Republican Party’s 2026 voter guide, plus its two statewide proposal references. Complete active candidate fields are supplied for the included contests. District races apply only to residents of the relevant district; this is not a personalized or complete county ballot.
The Kent County Republican Party voter guide, linked from the Michigan Republican Party’s county guide directory, determines the selections covered here. Official candidate records establish the complete fields for the included contests. A candidate’s appearance in a party guide is attributed to that guide; explicit endorsements are labeled separately.
Nonpartisan ballot status and party support are separate facts. Other candidates in each covered contest are also listed. These are candidate listings, not election results. This county reference is not a personalized ballot.
Campaign websites, social links and portraits retain their separate source review dates. Missing links or portraits do not indicate that a candidate has no campaign presence. Consult the linked sources for subsequent updates.
