Caraveo’s district is a "D+1.3%" district, which Trump won in 2016 and Biden won by 5% in 2020.  She is a one term incumbent in a congressional district that came into being in 2022 after the 2020 census. Yadira Caraveo is a pediatrician and a daughter of Mexican immigrants. 

Caraveo supports reproductive rights; lowering prescription drug and health insurance costs; increasing access to health care services. 

House Committees: Energy and Commerce; Agriculture; Judiciary; Education and the Work Force; Ways and Means.

Endorsements: Over 30 organizations covering labor, reproductive rights and the environment.

The Opposition: Presently, there are three announced Republican candidates and two unaffiliated candidates. The primary is June 25. 

The Odds: The Cook Political Report and Inside Elections both rate the race as a toss-up, while Sabato’s Crytal Ball gives it a “lean Democratic” rating. In 2022, Caraveo won by just 0.7% of the vote with a Libertarian Party Candidate receiving more votes than her margin of victory over her Republican opponent.

Present District 7 representative Elissa Slotkin will not seek reelection but instead will run for US Senate. Slotkin defeated Republican challenger Tom Barrett 52-46 in 2022, and Biden carried District 7 by only a 0.5% margin. While the Michigan primary is August 6, there are presently only one announced candidate for the Democrats and the Republicans. District 7 includes mostly Lansing and East Lansing.

Curtis Hertel is the sole Democrat running at this time. He has been a state senator, legislative director for Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s administration, and Ingham County Commissioner.

Hertel supports lowering prescription drug prices; reproductive rights; expanding access to affordable health care; protecting Medicaid and Social Security; union job creation; addressing supply chain issues; bringing battery production plants and auto manufacturing back to Michigan; greater gun safety via red flag laws and safe storage techniques; addressing climate change for a more sustainable future; being a good listener to his constituency; and bipartisanship. 

Endorsements: AFL-CIO, UAW United Steelworkers, New Democrat Action Fund, Elissa Slotkin. 

The Opposition: Tom Barrett, defeated by Slotkin in 2022, is presently the only announced Republican candidate. He spent two decades in the US Army. He is hawkish on border control, protectionism, and China. He is endorsed by US House Speaker Mike Johnson, former US House Speaker McCarthy, and Elise Stefanik.

The Odds: Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato’s Crystal Ball all rate the race as a toss-up. Hertel has about $700K in his war chest, while Barrett has about $500K.

District 2 includes southern and western New Mexico, Las Cruces, and parts of southwestern Albuquerque and is rated as a D+4 district. In 2020, GOP candidate Yvette Herrell defeated incumbent Democrat Xochitl Torres-Small by 7.4%. But in 2022, Democratic challenger Gabriel Vasquez narrowly defeated Herrell by 0.7%. Herrell and Vasquez are bound for a rematch in 2024 as there are no primary challengers.

Vasquez is a first generation Mexican American and served four years on the Las Cruces city council.

Vasquez supports small businesses, calling for corporations to pay their fair share; organized labor; affordable health care with a public option; reproductive rights; tax cuts for working families and undoing Trump’s tax cuts; addressing climate change with clean energy investments; a $15 minimum wage; immigration reform that protects “Dreamers” and provides paths to citizenship; police reform with additional police funding; Native American rights, including funding for  greater opportunity; and conserving New Mexico’s public lands, opposing their sale to the highest bidder.

House Committees: Agriculture; Armed Services.

Endorsements: League of Conservation Voters, Population Connection Action Fund; Jewish Democratic Council of America. J Street PAC.

The Opposition: Herrell was the first Native American woman to serve in Congress. However, she has typical MAGA credentials, supporting the repeal of the Affordable Care Act, and opposing abortion with some exceptions. Herrell is a member of the Freedom Caucus, did not vote to impeach Trump, and opposed certifying Biden’s election in 2020.

The Odds: Cook Political Report and Inside Elections rate the race as a toss-up, while Sabato’s Crystal Ball rates it as leaning Democratic. A September 2023 poll gave Herrell a 1% lead. Vasquez has $1.8M while Herrell has $1.1M.

North Carolina has been victimized by cynical GOP gerrymandering and voter suppression. As a result, three seats presently held by Democrats have been gerrymandered to be likely GOP wins. District 1 has been similarly affected, and incumbent Donald Davis will have a tough race.

In 2022, Davis defeated MAGA candidate Sandy Smith 52-48 for his first term in Congress. Davis is a centrist and former Air Force ROTC officer and professor of aerospace studies. He is a former state senator and mayor of Snow Hill, NC.

Davis supports reproductive rights; greater internet access; affordable health care,  particularly how it affects rural eastern North Carolina and Black maternal mortality; addressing toxic pollution and environmental justice issues prevalent in eastern North Carolina; increased spending on education to support HBCUs and lowering the cost of higher education in general; early childhood education; expanding veteran’s benefits; assistance to agricultural communities; and bipartisanship.

House Committees: Agriculture; Armed Services, Black Congressional Caucus member 

Endorsements: Vote Vets, AFL-CIO, Communications Workers of America, North Carolina Association of Educators, Sierra Club, Massachusetts representative Seth Moulton

The Opposition: Laurie Buckhout, who is endorsed by Michael Flynn, just won the primary. She is a “right to lifer” and strongly supports Second Amendment rights. 

The Odds: The Cook Political Report, Sabato’s Crystal Ball, and Inside Elections all rate it as a toss-up. Davis and Smith both have about $600K in funds. The expected presence of a Libertarian candidate on the November ballot may assist Davis to some degree.

Susan Wild is seeking her fourth term in Congress. She defeated Lisa Scheller 52-49 in 2022. Susan Wild aligns with the mainstream liberals among congressional Democrats.  She is also quite business-friendly, receiving a 63% rating from the US Chamber of Commerce.

Wild supports renewable resource development and strong environmental protections; increasing taxes for those with the highest income and opposes corporate tax cuts; campaign finance reform; voting rights; enhancing the Affordable Care Act to lower drug prices and provide more mental health services with an eventual migration to Medicare For All; increased funding for education, especially for training, certification, and apprenticeships; legalizing marijuana and ending the war on drugs; reducing defense spending;  more broadband access for rural areas; and gun control, in particular reinstating the ban on assault rifles and adding background checks (a difficult position within Pennsylvania).

House Committees: Education and Labor; Ethics; Foreign Affairs; Science, Space, and Technology. 

Endorsements: Emily's List, Planned Parenthood, NARAL, End Citizens United, Jewish Democratic Council, National Education Association, and four environmental groups. 

The Opposition: Four candidates will be competing for the GOP nomination in the April 23 primary. Two GOP candidates have about $100K on hand, while Wild has about $1.5M. Wild has a Democratic primary challenger in Jenna Alwalah, but there is little information about her, and she does not seem to have a website. 

The Odds: The Cook Political Report and Sabato’s Crystal Ball rate the race as a toss-up, while Inside Elections rates it as tilting Democratic. An independent candidate (Lewis Shupe) may siphon off some GOP votes in this close contest.

Matt Cartwright is seeking reelection for his fourth term. This district covers much of northeastern Pennsylvania and Wilkes Barre and Scranton- -coal mining country in the first half of the 20th century. He won a close race in 2020 with 51.2% of the vote, while Trump won the district by 3%. The district is rated R+4.

Cartwright is a centrist-leaning liberal. He is a member of the Progressive Caucus who prides himself in his bipartisan efforts. As Pennsylvanians have many fracking-related jobs, Cartwright finesses environmental concerns: He supports research and development into carbon capture technologies and other ways to remove greenhouse gases from our atmosphere, and he supports legislation to ensure natural gas is extracted responsibly in a way that does not contaminate families' drinking water with toxic chemicals.

Cartwright supports reproductive rights; campaign finance reform; renewable energy; strengthening Social Security and Medicare; expanding access to affordable health care; gun control; environmental protection, especially for abandoned mines in his district; improving education; LGBTQ+ rights; improving broadband access; labor unions; veteran’s benefits; greater funding of police departments; strong national defense; and, growing the local economy and small businesses (US Chamber of Commerce rating of 48%).

House Committees: Appropriations. 

Endorsements: League of Conservation Voters; NRDC; National Education Association, Democratic Majority for Israel, J Street PAC, Jewish Democratic Council of America. 

The Opposition: Rob Bresnahan, a young CEO of a construction company, is the only announced GOP candidate at this time, but others are considering entering the race. The primary is April 23. While Cartwright seems well funded with $1.8M, substantial financial support is expected for the opposition. 

The Odds: Cook Political Report and Sabato’s Crystal Ball rate the race as a toss-up, while Inside Elections rate it as tilting Democratic.

Perez won her first term in Congress with an upset win over the incumbent, MAGA Republican Joe Kent. Perez’s successful 2022 campaign emphasized a folksy style, blue collar roots, and her small business background via her family’s ownership of a small auto repair business. Her voting record indicates a strong centrist lean. She refuses corporate PAC money.

Perez supports small businesses; worker’s rights; lowering prescription drug prices; lowering the cost of health care and child care; reproductive rights; campaign finance reform; strong defense versus China; apprenticeship and skills training; addressing climate change with clean energy investments; and development projects for her southwest Washington district.

House Committees: Agriculture; Small Business.

Endorsements: Democratic Majority for Israel; Emily’s List; End Citizens United; National Women’s Political Caucus; Population Connection Action Fund.

The Opposition: Joe Kent is seeking a rematch in 2024, and he characterizes Perez as a woke extremist. Kent may have a formidable challenger in the August 6 primary, Leslie Lewallen, who may try to “out-MAGA” Kent in areas such as parental rights, crime, safety, and limiting government spending. Lesie French also seeks the GOP nod, though her funding and support seems minimal.

The Odds: Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato’s Crystal Ball all rate the race as a toss-up.

District 13 is largely agricultural. The Fresno Bee notes that candidates tend to pitch themselves as moderates to win over voters in this district.

In 2020, Biden won by 11%, and there are more registered Democrats than Republicans. There is a March 5 primary which will be rather meaningless, as California’s top 2 vote getters move on to the November election irrespective of their party affiliation.

Adam Gray will be the Democratic candidate. He is seeking a rematch with Duarte, to whom he lost by just 0.4% in 2022. Gray was a California state assemblyman for 10 years and founded the Legislature’s Problem Solvers Caucus. His support profile below mostly reflects the approach he has previously taken within his district. Gray and Duarte will both try to portray each other as extremists.

Gray supports protecting the water rights of his district; reproductive rights; common sense bipartisan solutions; greater funding for health care and bringing health care including mental health into schools; pre-K support and vocational training targeted towards good jobs; puts priority on public safety by funding anti-gang measures, opposing zero bail and early prison release, but also supporting a choke hold ban; and, veterans benefits and job creation.

Endorsements: Fresno Bee and Modesto Bee editorial boards; Blue Dog PAC; DCCC Red to Blue PAC; Feminist Majority PAC; California Teachers Association and National Education Association; several firefighter associations.

The Opposition: In Congress, Duarte has voted the Republican party line more than 90% of the time.

The Odds: Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato’s Crystal Ball all rate the race as a toss-up. Duarte has $2M in campaign funds while Gray has $580K.

The population of District 27 is about 44% Hispanic, 39% white, 9% Black, and 2% Asian. Democrats account for 42% of the registered voters, and Republicans make up 29%. In 2020, Biden carried the district by 12%, and Mike Garcia won by just 333 votes. In 2022, Garcia had a 6.5% margin of victory. The district is near Los Angeles, and many residents commute to Los Angeles for work.

Democrat George Whitesides and Garcia were the "top 2" in the primary and will advance to the November election. Whitesides is a pragmatic political newcomer from the aerospace industry. He is a board member of the Antelope Valley Economic Development and Growth Enterprise.

Whitesides supports reproductive rights; job growth; creating economic opportunity; preserving Social Security and Medicare; wildfire fighting efforts, as he is a founder of the Megafire Action organization; and bipartisanship.

Endorsements: Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff, and many other mainstream US representatives; League of Conservation Voters and California Environmental Voters; Anne Kuster (NH), Chair of the New Democratic Coalition praises Whitesides as the kind of candidate Democrats need to win in a swing district.

The Opposition:  While Garcia has leaned somewhat moderate on some economic issues, he most often toed the Trump party line. He voted against certifying Arizona's and Pennsylvania 2020 Electoral College votes for Biden and opposed Trump’s impeachment related to January 6. He supported Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House. Garcia is taking some flak due to an unreported sale of Boeing stock.

The Odds: Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato’s Crystal Ball all rate the race as a toss-up. Both Garica and Whitesides have about $2M treasure chests, and Whitesides has some personal wealth he can bring to the race.

Mike Lawler is seeking his second term for District 17. In 2022, he narrowly upset DCCC Chair Sean Maloney (50.3-49.7) in a race that was fueled by GOP marketing of fear of rising crime rates. District 17 is composed of Rockland and Putnam counties and the lower portion of Hudson County and northern Westchester County. The New York City media markets are influential in this district.

There are presently two Democratic candidates: Mondaire Jones and MaryAnn Carter. Jones held this seat from 2021-2022 before redistricting occurred. A challenge from Maloney in 2022 led him to an unsuccessful attempt to switch districts to District 10. Carter is a former councilwoman and town supervisor in Bedford, NY.

 Mondaire Jones emphasizes the poverty he experienced as a youth being raised in Nyack, NY, by a single mother. He eventually received a law degree from Harvard and served as an attorney in the Westchester County Law Department. He also served on the US Commission on Civil Rights. He is emphasizing efforts to support police funding and past efforts to take guns away from dangerous people. He basically supported the Biden agenda during his term in Congress.

MaryAnn Carter is a single mom and an IT professional in addition to her Bedford, NY, roles noted above.

Mondaire Jones supports lowering prescription drug prices; reproductive rights; LGBTQ+ rights; infrastructure improvements; and funding for police.

MaryAnn Carter supports reproductive rights, common sense gun policy, and action to address climate change.

Mondaire Jones's 2021-2022 House Committees: Ethics; Judiciary; Education and the Work Force

Mondaire Jones's Endorsements: Nancy Pelosi, Congressional Black Caucus, Congressional Progressive Caucus, End Citizen’s United; LGBTQ Victory Fund, and New Dem Action Fund.

MaryAnn Carr's Endorsements:  Unknown at this time as she has a sparse website.

The Opposition: Mike Lawler is a media savvy politician that often appears on Fox News and tries to distance himself from MAGA extremism, casting himself as a bipartisan problem solver. Anticipating that Jones will emerge as the Democratic nominee, he paints Jones as a radical progressive who wishes to defund the police and who supports cashless bail policies that led to the increase in crime in the New York metropolitan area. Lawler will be a formidable opponent.

The Odds: Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, and Sabato’s Crystal Ball all rate the race as a toss-up. Jones is a prohibitive favorite to prevail in the June 25 Democratic primary. Lawler has $2.6M in his campaign treasure chest, while Jones has $1.1M (Carr has $12K).

District 19 includes the upper Hudson Valley and the Catskills region. Its representatives have been mostly Democrats in recent years until it flipped to the GOP in 2022. While Trump carried the district in 2016, it was Biden +4 in 2020. In 2022, Democratic incumbent Pat Ryan switched to District 18. Marc Molinaro defeated Josh Riley 51-49 in 2022 in the race for the seat vacated by Pat Ryan.

While John Cerullo and Dan Buttermann are on the June 25 Democratic primary ballot, Josh Riley seems to be the prohibitive favorite to become Molinaro’s Democratic challenger again in November 2024. Cerullo and Buttermann apparently have little media presence or funding.

Riley is a Harvard-educated lawyer, served as a policy analyst for the US Department of Labor, and was a counsel for Al Franken on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Riley has sought to supplement police officers with mental health professionals when appropriate.

Riley supports reproductive rights; job growth, particularly getting upstate New York to develop green jobs, and solar panel and battery manufacturing; creating economic opportunity for his district; preserving Social Security and Medicare; more resources for police; middle-class tax cuts, not corporate ones; increasing veterans’ benefits; securing our borders; support for small farmers, particularly those whose practices benefit the environment; campaign finance reform; LGBTQ+ rights; preserving Second Amendment rights but banning assault rifles and improving background checks; and increased education spending for both STEM, vocational schools, and early childhood.

Riley’s endorsements: Many labor unions and environmental groups; NARAL; Planned Parenthood; New Democratic Action Fund; National Education Association and American Federation of Teachers; Al Franken; Pat Ryan; End Citizens United; DCCC.

The Opposition: Marc Molinaro is a former Dutchess County executive who seeks to cut federal taxes and spending. While he showed some bipartisanship in some areas (e.g., a farm bill), he also supports the impeachment of Joe Biden. He benefited from the fear of increased crime generated by the New York City media in 2022, railing against bail reform and associating Riley with it. More of the same is expected in 2024.

The Odds: Cook Political Report and Sabato’s Crystal Ball rate the race as a toss-up, while Inside Elections rates it as tilting Republican.  Both Riley and Molinaro have about $2M treasure chests.
