Several outlets have published guides to the Nov. 3, 2026, midterm elections, covering candidates and ballot measures at state and local levels. KRCC’s Southern Colorado guide points voters to county candidate lists, regional ballot measures and voting information, while Midland County’s guide details races and proposals including school funding for buildings, security, technology and transportation. The Korea Daily reviews candidates in key federal, California state and local contests, highlighting the competitive matchup between Rep. Young Kim and Rep. Ken Calvert after redistricting placed them in the same congressional district. San Francisco’s guide takes a satirical approach to races including the California governor’s contest and the campaign to succeed Nancy Pelosi in Congress.
Key Points
1
The Korea Daily says its candidate evaluations are conducted by a committee that has reviewed contenders since 2020, assessing policy capacity, community contributions and ability to serve in public office. It also described the 2026 election as significant for Korean Americans because candidates from the community are seeking offices ranging from Congress to city councils.

Rep. Young Kim chairs the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on East Asia and the Pacific. Federal Election Commission figures cited by The Korea Daily showed her campaign had raised about $8.84 million through June 30, compared with Ken Calvert’s roughly $6.14 million, and Kim also had more cash on hand.

The San Francisco guide identifies Xavier Becerra and Steve Hilton as the governor’s race contenders, describing Becerra as a former state attorney general and U.S. health secretary and noting Hilton’s “Califordable” campaign platform. It names state Sen. Scott Wiener and San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan as candidates seeking to replace Nancy Pelosi in Congress.
