RACES TO WATCH
The closest Senate, Governor and House contests in one list, toss-ups first. Each one shows its candidates and a rating from Solid to Toss-Up.
Race ratings and candidate lists are compiled by the developer from public reporting. They are editorial estimates, not government data and not predictions.
