SCORE ANATOMY

What makes the score

General-election competitiveness

0.0

The statewide 2024 presidential result was R+29.7. A tied state begins at 100 and each Republican margin point subtracts four points.

Democratic primary

Not in this score

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

AIPAC support

Not in this score

Not used in this route; the retained AIPAC model covers the Democratic House field.

Incumbent alignment

Not in this score

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

Cash vulnerability

0.0

The FEC candidate summary reports $5,234,429 cash on hand through 2026-07-17. The inverse log scale is 100 at $50,000 or less and 0 at $5 million or more.

State Democratic primary contestation

40.3

The retained 2024 state-legislative Democratic primaries in this state score 40.3 on a scale where a 40% contested share is 100. This is state-level organizing context, not a seat measure.
