Incumbent Gabe Amo, first elected in 2023 and re-elected with 63% in 2024, faces a Republican challenger in the November 3, 2026 general election after primaries on September 9. Forecasters rate the seat Safe or Solid Democratic, with limited competitive pressure from opposition filings. Primary drivers include the district's urban and suburban composition favoring Democratic performance and the structural advantages of incumbency in low-turnout cycles. Scenarios that could narrow the gap remain narrow and would require substantial shifts such as unexpected primary disruptions or broader national realignments not evident in current indicators.
