Voter guide

Background, stated goals, record, and money

Goals come from the campaign's own platform. Record lines are official actions.

How this guide is built

Background comes from official records, and from the campaign's own biography where the bullet says so; goals are summarized from the campaign's own platform and stay attributed; the record lines are official actions with the government source attached; money is shown as filed, with the filings it covers in the note under the table, and is not evidence of why any position was taken.

Tim Long

Background

  • The U.S. Taxpayers Party nominee, printed fourth on the state's listing and filed by convention on July 20, 2026.
  • He registered a campaign committee with the FEC on July 27, 2026, as Timothy E. Long.

What they say they want to do

No campaign website, platform or public statement by him was found. His FEC committee registration lists no website; the U.S. Taxpayers Party of Michigan's candidates page read "No candidates have been added yet" on September 23, 2026; and a web search for his name with the party and the office returned only election listings.

What the official record shows

No public office held by him was found in the sources searched: the state's candidate listing, his FEC registration and his party's candidates page. News listings describe an earlier run for the Wayne County Commission, which the desk did not confirm from the county's own election record.

Campaign money from other committees, by type

His committee has filed only a Statement of Organization, on July 27, 2026, and no financial report, so there are no filing lines to read.
