The Republican primary was canceled with no candidate advancing, and Huntley also advanced from the Working Families Party primary without appearing on the ballot, leaving him unopposed in the November 3 general election.[1]

Issue evidence — side by side
Recorded votes, documented positions and candidates’ own words are shown with sources. “In their own words” quotes a candidate on the topic without inferring a stance. Votes describe specific bills or motions; they do not establish overall support or opposition to a broad issue. A dash means our research has no evidence on that topic, not that the candidate has no position.

Research notes & limits
Huntley is unopposed on the Nov 3, 2026 general-election ballot. He has not held elected office, so there is no official voting or bill-sponsorship record. Priorities and positions are drawn from his Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey response (submitted September 5, 2026), which is his own account of his platform; a separate campaign website (eonforassembly.com) largely repeats the same language. Huntley's biography is drawn from his own Candidate Connection survey and campaign website (self-described); no independent news profile was used.
