Several notable House retirements and a handful of redistricting battles are putting multiple seats in play for both parties as they vie for control of the lower chamber next year.

Rep. David Schweikert (R), who represents a battleground district in Arizona, announced he will not seek reelection next year and instead will run for governor, offering Democrats a rare pickup opportunity.

Democrats also feel they are a step closer to nabbing Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District after Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) said in June he will not run for reelection.

Meanwhile, a broader redistricting war has set off a scramble for both parties.

Here’s a look at key pickup opportunities in the House for Republicans and Democrats.

DEMOCRATIC PICKUP TARGETS

Arizona’s 1st Congressional District

Schweikert announced Tuesday he would leave his House seat in the northeast Phoenix suburbs to run for governor as Republicans look to defeat Gov. Katie Hobbs (D) next year.

A former state lawmaker, Schweikert has served in Congress since 2011. He won his last election against Democrat Amish Shah, an emergency room physician and former state lawmaker who’s running for his seat again next year, by close to 4 points. President Trump won his district by 3 points, according to The Downballot.

The nonpartisan election handicapper Cook Political Report rates his seat as a “toss up.”

Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District

Bacon announced in late June he was going to retire from the House after his current term, capping off a decade in the lower chamber.

Bacon proved to be a formidable candidate in a district that the parties have traded in presidential contests. He notably knocked off former Rep. Brad Ashford (D-Neb.) during his first election in 2016 by just morer than a point.

Bacon said he made the decision to retire to spend more time with his family back home. Cook rates the seat as “lean Democrat.”
