SCORE ANATOMY

What makes the score

Blue baseline

79.6

The statewide 2024 presidential result was D+24.9. The baseline is 0 at a 5-point Democratic margin and 100 at 30 points; only 2024 is retained statewide, so no multi-cycle floor applies.

Primary feasibility

Not in this score

No retained Senate primary evidence exists, so the structural baseline is the blue baseline alone. Nothing is imputed.

Incumbent alignment gap

25.2

The 119th Senate sheets of the retained Left and Palestine trackers score this member 0.929245283 and 0.567251462. The gap is the mean distance from full alignment, scaled by tracker coverage.

Cash vulnerability

28.5

The FEC candidate summary reports $1,348,676 cash on hand through 2026-08-12. The inverse log scale is 100 at $50,000 or less and 0 at $5 million or more.
