Tom Emmer

MN-06 enters through the Republican-held flip route at 13.2. V0.9 replaces the flat 0.70 cap with the same partial-coverage rule the Democratic route uses: 65% of the route's evidence is available, so the weighted mean of 15.4 is scaled by 0.860, moving the score +1.7. V0.10 refreshes incumbent finance from the FEC candidate summary through 2026-07-22, moving the score +0.1 to 13.3.

SCORE ANATOMY

What makes the score

General-election competitiveness

21.3

The retained 2024 presidential result was R+19.7. A tied district begins at 100 and each Republican margin point subtracts four points.

Democratic primary

Not in this score

Not applicable to this Republican-held general-election route; no Democratic-primary value is imputed.

AIPAC support

Not in this score

Not used in this route because the retained candidate-level AIPAC model covers the Democratic incumbent field.

Incumbent alignment

Not in this score

Not used in this route because the retained alignment trackers cover Democratic incumbents.

Cash vulnerability

2.3

The FEC candidate summary snapshot (2026-07-22) reports $4,496,007 cash on hand, replacing the $4,535,592 release aggregate. The inverse log scale is 100 at $50,000 or less and 0 at $5 million or more.

State Democratic primary contestation

Not in this score

No retained state-legislative Democratic primary catalog records uncontested contests for this state, so the component is omitted and the available weight is renormalized.
