Florida: Senate and Congressional Races

In Florida, the Senate race is heating up. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R) is facing a challenger supported by his rival, former Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R). At the same time, Democrats are competing in Florida’s 13th Congressional District for a chance to challenge Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R) in the fall.

Alaska: Nonpartisan Primary

In Alaska, a nonpartisan primary will determine the top four candidates for the state’s at-large congressional seat, currently held by Rep. Mary Peltola (D).

Wyoming: Senate Primaries

Wyoming will also hold primaries, where Sens. John Barrasso (R) and Harriett Hageman (R) face challengers. However, neither is expected to face serious opposition.
