“Incumbents seeking re-election” counts sitting House and Senate members we've verified against our officials roster. FEC's own “incumbent” classification is broader — it includes former members running to reclaim a seat — so the count here is tighter than what /data/candidates on FEC's site would show. Open-seat filings happen when the incumbent isn't seeking re-election (retirement, running for another office, or after a resignation). The 2026 cycle has unusually many because of the Senate appointments (Rubio, Vance, Braun) and a heavy House retirement field.
Districts with three or more declared candidates.
States with two or more candidates filed for the Senate seat up this cycle.
10 states redrew House lines mid-decade
2026 is the largest wave of mid-decade congressional redistricting in modern history. Outside of the normal once-a-decade redraw, both parties have pushed new maps — through legislatures, courts, and ballot measures — to gain House seats before the midterms. That means some of the candidates above are running in districts that didn't exist a year ago. Below is each redrawn state's House delegation today versus a best-effort projection under the new lines; explore the actual boundaries on the district map.
Projections reflect each plan's stated partisan intent and forecaster ratings where available — not a guarantee. Actual outcomes depend on candidates, fundraising, and turnout. States where a redraw was adopted but later blocked by a court (such as Virginia) are not included.
