Race Details
This seat is currently occupied by Democratic Representative Joe Cunningham (CFGF lifetime rating: NA), who is running for reelection for his 2nd term in the United States House of Representatives. While he does not have an official score, a recent Club for Growth vote analysis shows Rep. Cunningham has voted with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez over 85% of the time.
This is a highly competitive race. In 2016, President Trump won this Congressional District by 13.1% so this is considered an opportunity to flip the congressional seat back to the Republicans with someone who believes strongly in economic freedom and liberty.
