The latest news on this front comes from a really interesting article at the Alliance for Securing Democracy. Take a look at this excerpt:

In the 2022 midterm elections, a not-insignificant group of candidates is using TikTok to reach voters. The Alliance for Securing Democracy at GMF tracked and catalogued 227 TikTok accounts created and used by US major party candidates in Senate, House, governor, and secretary of state races this November. (Note: Approximately 48 of the catalogued accounts are either private, have posted no content, have no followers, or are unable to be verifiably attributed to the candidate.) Of all the accounts we studied, TikTok has only verified 40, most of whom are political incumbents or previously held office. (View the list of accounts here.)
