Race Brief: Iowa-02 (OPEN)
When seven-term Rep. Dave Loebsack (D-IA) announced that he would not seek re-election in 2020, it created a rare pickup opportunity for Republicans.

Mainers voted for Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in the last two presidential elections. Although Republican Susan Collins continues to have strong approval ratings, Democrats are expected to target this seat as a possible pickup opportunity.
Race Brief: Utah-04 (McAdams)
Utah’s 4th Congressional District is a Republican-leaning swing district that has changed party hands three times since 2012. The 2018 midterm election in UT-04 had one of the closest margins in the country, with Democrat Ben McAdams defeating incumbent Rep. Mia Love (R-UT) by a fraction of a point. This seat is likely to be a top target for Republicans in 2020.

South Carolina’s 1st District has historically been a Republican stronghold, with both Donald Trump & Mitt Romney carrying the district by double digits. In 2018, however, political newcomer Joe Cunningham (D-SC) defeated Republican Katie Arrington in one of the closest House races in the country. The 1st District is expected to be a top target for Republicans in 2020.
