At least 10 challengers have announced their intent to run for the state House or Senate. Not surprisingly, given the strong Democratic majorities in both chambers, the bulk of the early contenders are Republicans.
This year there were at least nine state House contests that were rematches from 2006. In three instances, challengers successfully avenged their previous defeats.
After a tough 2006 electoral battle in which Democrat Ken Tschumper prevailed over incumbent Gregory Davids, the opponents will face off again this year. It is perhaps the most intriguing rematch of the electoral season, but it’s far from the only one. There are at least seven other competitive state House contests that pit foes against each other for a second — or even third — time.
