Monica faces no challengers in the Democratic Primary, but will face a Republican challenger in the General Election November 8th. The District in the past has leaned Democratic.

Iman faces no challenger for her seat in the June 28th Primary. She will face a Republican challenger in the November 8th General Election. The seat leaned Democratic in previous election and the state's Independent Redistricting Commission does not seem to have changed the District substantially. This might be winnable, but Progressives should keep an eye on how this election is going, and definitely plan to vote for Iman in the November 9th General Election.

Jena faces no challenger in the Democratic Primary on June 28th. She will face challengers from the Approval Voting, Unity, and Republican parties. In light of recent Republican voting scandals in the state, it is important that we keep this Progressive voting rights champion in this office.
