Econ. Scale — 2026 Senate races

How Senate Votes Affect Your Daily Cost

A Map of the Most Important Economic Metrics for This Midterm Election

Every campaign promises to lower costs and protect jobs. This tool takes each 2026 Senate candidate's economic platform and plots it on one fixed, directional scale — so you can see, race by race, how much government involvement each candidate is actually proposing, and compare it side by side with no policy background required.

Click a state shown in white to open its 2026 race. Red and blue states aren't up for election this cycle — they're colored by whichever party already holds that seat, for context, not as part of any score. See the methodology page for the rollout plan.

Every score below is a directional first-pass judgment, not a precise measurement, and every one is sourced. Open "What this means" on any axis for a plain-English explanation.
