Information:
There are currently 2 empty seats in the House. Deaths. Both Dems. Both safe districts. Special elections in Sept/Nov.
In 2024, a total of 22 seats were won by 2% or less. Of these, 15 were Democrats and 7 GOP.
16 members of the House are not running for re-election in 2026. Of these, Don Bacon won his seat by 1.8% as an incumbent. None of the other 16 had a 2024 victory margin < 5%.
We thus face 15 incumbent Dems in marginal seats. And of our 7 who won close races, one is retiring.

It’s funny you’d think a rat governor would call for the earliest special election before the rep is buried.
