It's time for another check-in on where we are at in 2014 with regards to Democratic challengers to GOP Congressmen/Congresswomen!
First, this isn't a new update but the most immediate races to pay attention to are special elections in the following districts:
Alabama's 1st Congressional District - Burton LeFlore is the Democratic nominee and will faces Bradley Byrne or Dean Young in the special general election is on December 17th.
In Texas, the filing deadline ended just this week and there are quite a number of candidates running against GOP incumbents, including David Cozad who is running against Rep. Joe Barton, Mike Minter is running against Rep. Mac Thornberry, Wesley Reed is running against Rep. Blake Farenthold and Frank Perez is running against Rep. Pete Sessions, the same one in the news who said, “I can’t stand to look at you” in referring to President Obama.
In Arizona, Mikel Weisser is running against Rep. Paul Gosar.
In Illinois, Rep. John Shimkus (the one who said dealing with Kathleen Sebelius and HHS is like dealing with North Korea) is being challenged by Eric Thorsland.
In Indiana, Lane Siekman is running against Rep. Luke Messer, which leaves the 5th and 8th Congressional Districts without Democratic candidates.
In Mississippi, we have the first Democratic candidate running against a GOP incumbent, Trish Causey who is challenging Rep. Steve Palazzo.
In South Carolina, 2012 Democratic Candidate in SC-07, Gloria Tinubu, is running again in 2014 to challenge Rep. Tom Rice.
In Wisconsin, Kelly Westlund is running against Rep. Sean Duffy in WI-07.
However, there are still 109 GOP-held districts that do not have Democratic challengers as of today. A few months ago there were 157. If you have any insight on additional Democratic candidates running in GOP-held Congressional Districts that have not been cited here, keep us informed.
Which Congressional Districts already have Democratic challengers?
Which ones have Democrats who are considering challenging?
Which ones really don't have any Democratic challengers?
Here's what we have:
