And, it’s not like these are all incredibly rural, or incredibly uncompetitive, races. I live in Burgess’ district. It’s true that redistricing has yanked the city of Denton, but it still includes the Denton County portion of Lewisville and a growing, more suburban part of Wise County. Yea, it’s Republican, but not like Ronny Jackson’s district. That Dems couldn’t get anybody to run is an indictment.

Couple of notes to Jim on the most interesting ones. (Not posting links in case multiple links puts me in moderation; dunno what controls Richard has. Info from Ballotpedia.)
CA 10 is East Bay suburbs; pre-redistricting, was a fair amount different, with exurbs south of Stockton. With Cal’s top-two, I thought maybe no Republican ran, but one did, via write-in, but was behind the Green. Open district, tilts strong Dem; but, despite being open, only one Dem ran. Incumbent Harder went to CA 9 with redistricting and big
PA 3? Wiki says that Cook’s rates it as the most Dem-tilting House district in the nation. Incumbent Dwight Evans won 91-9 two years ago.
