Jimmy Carter (Democratic Party): Jimmy Carter, then Governor of Georgia, won the Democratic nomination for president. He ultimately won the election and became the 39th President of the United States.
Gerald Ford (Republican Party): Gerald Ford, who had become President following Richard Nixon's resignation in 1974, sought re-election as the Republican candidate.
Several minor party and independent candidates also ran in the 1976 election, but Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford were the major contenders representing the Democratic and Republican parties, respectively.
