Balter is the apparent winner of last week's Democratic primary in the 24th District to take on GOP Rep. John Katko, who is one of three Republicans running for reelection in districts Hillary Clinton won in 2016. The Associated Press has yet to call the race, but Balter led Navy veteran Francis Conole in initial returns, with 65 percent of the vote to Conole's 36 percent. Conole conceded to Balter on Thursday.
Balter lost to Katko by 5 percentage points in 2018 after battling against the DCCC's preferred candidate to win the primary. In 2016, Clinton won the 24th District, which includes Syracuse, by 4 points. Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales rates the race Lean Republican.
Michelle De La Isla, Kansas
De La Isla is the first Latina elected mayor of Topeka in Kansas' 2nd District, which the DCCC added to its target list in January. President Donald Trump carried the district by 18 points in 2016, but Democrats believe they have an opportunity to unseat GOP Rep. Steve Watkins, who is under investigation for allegedly illegally voting in a Topeka election.
De La Isla does have competition from fellow Democrat James K. Windholz in the Aug. 4 primary. Windholz does not appear to have raised enough funds to require filing campaign finance reports to the Federal Election Commission.
As of March 31, De La Isla had raised $378,000 and her campaign had $267,000 on hand. Inside Elections rates the race Solid Republican.
