New York Elected Officials & 2026 Candidates

Public office is an institution with responsibilities, boundaries and a term. A person may hold that office, seek it, leave it or appear in historical records about it. Those are different relationships.

Follow the seat through time

An office record is a useful anchor because people change while the institution continues. A current roster identifies a holder at a stated time; an election record identifies candidates for a particular contest. A vacant seat is still an office. Comparing these records helps avoid the common mistake of treating a candidate biography as proof that the person currently has governmental authority.

Keep identities and campaigns distinct

Names are not unique identifiers. A person can run more than once, seek different offices or appear with different punctuation in separate sources. Electionpedia retains the source identifiers and election context that allow a reader to check a match. A campaign committee is also a separate record: its receipts and spending should not be read as the candidate’s personal wealth.

Sources and update dates

The federal layer is rebuilt from the public-domain congressional corpus, the state layer from Open States People, and the candidate and money layer from FEC bulk files. Connected pages use the same stored records. Their source dates show when those records were last checked; a scheduled job is not proof that a refresh succeeded.
