Is Mark Pocan on the November 3 ballot?

Mark Pocan is on the November 3, 2026 ballot for U.S. House of Representatives — Wisconsin District 2, as the incumbent. No other candidate is on the ballot for this office.

ⓘ What do the party and ideology labels mean?

On the ballot, partisan candidates run under a party — in Wisconsin almost always Democratic or Republican, with the occasional third-party or independent candidate. Words like progressive, conservative, libertarian, or democratic socialist are labels people use to describe themselves, not separate parties on the ballot. A label is a starting point; each candidate's sourced positions show where they actually stand.

ⓘ What is a voting record showing me?

Wisconsin Watch’s questionnaire

Wisconsin Watch, a nonprofit newsroom, asked candidates for this office the same questions.

Wisconsin Watch’s guide shows no response. See Mark Pocan’s page on Wisconsin Watch

ⓘ How do I read these campaign-finance numbers?

Individual contributions come from people; PAC (political action committee) money comes from organized groups. Cash-on-hand is what a campaign has left to spend. Money shows who is backing a campaign — it is not an endorsement by us, and more money does not mean a candidate is better.
