Why we think this
- This district's baseline partisan lean favors Democrats by about 15 points of margin before anything else is considered.
- This is an open seat: the current officeholder (a Democrat, Bonnie Watson Coleman) is not on the ballot, which tends to make the race more competitive than a defended seat.
