The campaign arm of House Democrats on Tuesday added five seats to its target list, reflecting the party’s renewed confidence of flipping Republican districts and winning the House majority this year.
The new offensive opportunities bring the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s total “Districts in Play” to 44.
The newly targeted seats include four districts with Republican incumbents seeking reelection: Colorado’s 5th, which has never been represented by a Democrat and is currently held by freshman Rep. Jeff Crank; Minnesota’s 1st, held Rep. Brad Finstad; Montana’s 1st District, held by Rep. Ryan Zinke; and Virginia’s 5th, held by Rep. John McGuire. Also on the list is South Carolina’s open 1st District, which Rep. Nancy Mace is vacating to run for governor.
