Incumbent overlap under new maps
The new maps have both parties worked up and since it is election time again candidates are coming out from where ever they were and will be asking for your vote. The new maps are going to make strange bed fellows when some Incumbents are faced with the reality of challenging a fellow incumbent or just moving to a more friendly district. Hopefully some will just take the higher road and just retire.
