Two-fifths of the state legislators seeking re-election are unopposed this year.
Sixty of the 70 members of the state House of Representatives are running for another two-term term.
The Legislative Council Service reports that two dozen incumbents — 13 Democrats and 11 Republicans — face no primary or general election opponent from a major political party. That gives them a clear path to re-election unless a minor party or independent candidate files for office in June.
Twenty-seven incumbents — a dozen Democrats and 15 Republicans — have opposition only in the November general election.
Seven incumbents — six Democrats and one Republican — only have primary election opposition. Two members — one Democrat and one Republican — drew primary and general election opponents.
Democrats hold a 37-33 House majority.
