One hundred five people declared candidacies for congressional or statewide offices in the past week, 20 more than last week. All of these candidates declared before their state’s official filing deadline.
Fifty-seven of those candidates were Democratic, while 45 were Republican. Three are minor-party candidates or running in nonpartisan races.
Forty-eight candidates are running for Congress, 53 for state legislatures, two for governorship, and two for a lower state executive office.
