The chamber is staying out of the races in Congressional Districts 1 and 7. Both have Democratic incumbents with Republican challengers.
Of 25 state senate races, the chamber did not offer an endorsement in six races—Districts 1, 4, 6, 25, 29 and 49. In three of those races, the chamber is skipping out on endorsing Republican incumbents: Rick Niemeyer in District 6, Mike Delph in District 29, and Jim Tomes in District 49.
Of 100 state House seats, the chamber did not endorse a candidate in 25 races. And of those, only two have Republican incumbents—Curt Nisly in District 22 and David Abbott in District 82.
Also worth noting: The following Democrats (all running for state House seats) received an endorsement from the chamber: Earl Harris, Sheila Klinker, Sue Errington, Terri Austin, Ryan Hatfield, Phil GiaQuinta, Karlee Macer, Justin Moed and Dan Forestal.
