The 25 Elections to Watch This December
On the heels of their sweeping wins in November, Democrats have opportunities to gain further ground in December runoffs and special elections. They’re hoping for upsets in conservative territory, from a congressional race in Tennessee to a legislative race in Georgia, plus trying to flip mayoral seats in Miami and several Atlanta suburbs.
It’s all in our guide to the 25 elections to track in December, below.
The GOP is also eying some upsets in blue-leaning legislative races and in Albuquerque’s mayoral race, where a Democratic incumbent faces a former Republican sheriff.
Plus, Democrats’ internal ideological and generational battles are coming to a head in several contests. Watch Jersey City, where a progressive slate is trying to thwart the comeback bid of former Governor Jim McGreevey and his allies, and local elections in Houston and Atlanta.
