Incumbent Democrat Janelle Bynum secured renomination in the May 19, 2026, primary with roughly 82 percent of the vote against a single challenger, while Republican Patti Adair prevailed in her primary. Nonpartisan ratings classify the district as Likely or Solid Democratic, reflecting its modest partisan lean and Bynum’s incumbency advantage following her 2024 election. Strong Democratic fundraising and the absence of a high-profile Republican opponent have reinforced trader consensus around an 84 percent probability for the Democratic nominee. With the November 3 general election still months away, no major late-cycle developments have altered the race’s trajectory.
