Fifty-one people declared candidacies for federal or statewide offices in the past week, three fewer than last week. All of these candidates declared before their state’s official filing deadline.
Twenty-two of those candidates were Democratic, while 26 were Republican. Three are minor party or third-party candidates.
Twenty candidates are running for Congress, 26 for state legislatures, two for governorship, two for state supreme court positions, and one for a lower state executive office.
