Candidate answeredRecorded vote or own words, citedNo position foundDeclined to respond

Hamrick's only issue statements found online are from his 2012 campaign (“100% pro-life & 100% pro-gun”); nothing from 2026. Blackwell's site lists headings without specifics. Neither answered the Spotlight, Ballotpedia, or iVoterGuide questionnaires. The Legislature publishes no attendance rate; the House Journal shows Hamrick absent for six roll calls on 3/15/21. Blackwell has no voting record. All candidates in this race received the identical 28-question IVA questionnaire on Oct 21, 2026, deadline Oct 24, 5 p.m. Answers are published verbatim and replace researched cells. Any candidate may submit a 100-word statement or correct any factual error; the card is updated within 48 hours.
