Carl
Lambrecht

The Chicago Tribune reported on October 12 on the October 10 forum, detailing Lambrecht's positions: consolidating school districts to reduce education costs and taxes; reforming (not abolishing) ICE and supporting sealed borders with vetting; supporting Social Security and Medicare given longer lifespans; and expressing skepticism about the need for AI regulation, guided by the Ten Commandments and the U.S. Constitution.

Lambrecht and incumbent Brad Schneider took part in an online forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Lake County. Topics included affordability, immigration, Social Security and Medicare, and artificial intelligence. Lambrecht proposed consolidating Illinois' 850 school districts to reduce costs, called for sealed borders and vetting of immigrants, said Social Security and Medicare are important as people live longer, and cited the Ten Commandments and the Constitution as guiding principles for AI regulation.

Illinois Family Action's 2026 general-election endorsement page listed Carl Lambrecht as 'Endorsed!' for U.S. House District 10. The group's board selected candidates it considered supportive of 'pro-family and pro-faith principles.' The page URL places it in October 2026 but no exact day was given.

Candidate Alerts reported as of September 24 that Lambrecht was listed on the certified Illinois general-election candidate list for the November 3 ballot. The same source found no Lambrecht FEC committee or campaign finance reports for the 2025–26 cycle, noting candidates raising or spending under $5,000 are not required to register a committee.

Carl Lambrecht ran unopposed in the March 17 Republican primary for Illinois' 10th Congressional District. A candidate-profile source listed him as the Republican nominee with approximately 18,857 votes, though the Illinois State Board of Elections results page was not independently retrieved to confirm that total.
