Incumbent Sen.Lisa Murkowski (R) defeatedKelly Tshibaka (R), andPatricia Chesbro (D) in the general election for U.S. Senate in Alaska on November 8, 2022.

The three candidates advanced from thetop-four primary held on August 16, 2022, the first time Alaska used such a system in a Senate race since voters there approved it in 2020. All candidates, regardless of party affiliation, ran in a single primary. Murkowski, Tshibaka, Chesbro, andBuzz Kelley (R) received the most votes and advanced to the general election, where the winner was decided usingranked-choice voting.

On September 12, 2022, Kelleywithdrew from the race and endorsed Tshibaka.^[9] His name still appeared on the ballot.

Murkowski and Tshibaka led in media attention and together won more than 80% of the primary vote, with Murkowski receiving 45% and Tshibaka receiving 38.6%. In July 2022,FiveThirtyEight's Geoffrey Skelley and Zoha Qamar wrote, "the ranked choice voting process seems likely to set up a contest between the two leading Republicans, [Murkowski and Tshibaka]".^[10]

Murkowski first took office in 2002. Lisa Murkowski's father, Frank Murkowski (R), was a senator from 1981 to 2002, when he resigned to become governor of Alaska. After taking office, the elder Murkowski appointed his daughter to the U.S. Senate seat. After losing the Republican Senate primary in 2010, Lisa Murkowski successfully ran for re-election as a write-in candidate, becoming the second senator in U.S. history to do so. In 2016, Murkowskiwas re-elected after defeating second-place finisherJoe Miller (L) 44.4% to 29.2%.^[11][12]

Murkowski highlighted her seniority and said her willingness to work with Democrats helped steer federal funding to Alaska. Murkowski said, "This race is about who can deliver best for Alaska. Through my seniority and ability to work across party lines, I’m getting real results for Alaska."^[13] Murkowski also highlighted her support for energy development in the state and said her vote for the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act had already brought billions to Alaska.^[14]

Tshibaka, a former commissioner at the Alaska Department of Administration, accused Murkowski of not using her seniority to block more of PresidentJoe Biden's (D) agenda. Tshibaka said, "Lisa Murkowski has enabled Biden’s agenda by casting the tie-breaking deciding vote to advance his anti-energy Interior Secretary nominee and confirming over 90% of his radical nominees."^[15][16] Tshibaka also focused on economic issues and said she supports a Parental Bill of Rights that would give parents "a right to be fully informed and to approve of any sex education, gender identification, or race theory material being presented or discussed with their child."^[16]

In February 2021, Murkowski voted to convict then-PresidentDonald Trump (R) after theU.S. Houseimpeached him over the events surrounding the January 6 breach of the Capitol.Cite error: Closing</ref> missing for<ref> tag In June 2021, Trump endorsed Tshibaka.^[17] TheRepublican Party of Alaska also endorsed Tshibaka.^[18]

U.S. Senate Minority LeaderMitch McConnell (R) and fellow Alaska U.S. Sen.Dan Sullivan (R) endorsed Murkowski. Murkowski also had the endorsements of several Democratic elected officials, including Alaska's At-Large U.S. Rep.Mary Peltola (D), Sen.Joe Manchin (D) and Sen.Kyrsten Sinema (D).Cite error: Closing</ref> missing for<ref> tagCite error: Closing</ref> missing for<ref> tag^[19][20]

Ballotpedia tracked all noteworthy endorsements related to this race.^[21] To view a full list of these endorsements, clickhere.

Chesbro, a retired educator, highlighted her support for renewable energy. In her responses toBallotpedia's Candidate Connection survey, Chesbro said, “We cannot turn off the spigot on fossil fuels. We can invest in our future through developing our renewable resources to create the energy on which we depend.” Chesbro also focused on her support for abortion rights.^[22]

Masters, a venture capitalist, became president of theThiel Foundation in 2015 and served as COO of Thiel Capital from 2018 to 2022. Masters' campaign website said he ran "because the same old establishment politicians and the same old establishment candidates have failed us. [Masters] brings a wealth of experience to the table on how to defeat not just the progressive Democrats, but also the weak and compromised RINO Republicans." Masters' campaign website listed public safety as his top priority. He wrote, "I am so sick of this crime and chaos. It’s time to turn this ship around. We need to get control of our border. We need to punish criminals severely. And we need to project strength and competence abroad."^[25] Based on pre-general election reports filed with the FEC, Masters cumulatively raised $12.3 million and spent $9.7 million.

The previous two Senate elections—held in2018 and2020—were both decided by 2.4 percentage points. In 2020, Kelly defeated incumbent Sen.Martha McSally (R) in a special election 51.2% to 48.8%.^[26] In 2018,Kyrsten Sinema (D) defeated McSally 50.0% to 47.6%.

IncumbentRaphael Warnock (D) andHerschel Walker (R) advanced to arunoff election on December 6, 2022. Warnock, Walker, andChase Oliver (L) ran to representGeorgia in theU.S. Senate.

In Georgia, a general election advances to a runoff between the two top finishers if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote. Since none of the candidates received this level of support on November 8 in the general election, a runoff was scheduled to take place on December 6. Warnock won his 2021 special runoff election by a margin of 2 percentage points.

After former U.S. Sen.Johnny Isakson (R) resigned for health reasons in 2019, Gov.Brian Kemp (R) appointedKelly Loeffler (R) to this seat until a special election could be held to replace Isakson. Since no candidate won a majority of the vote in thespecial election on November 3, 2020, Loeffler and Warnock advanced to a runoff on January 5, 2021. Warnock defeated Loeffler in the runoff election, becoming the first Democrat to represent Georgia in the U.S. Senate since 2005.^[31][32][33]

Warnock served as the senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. also served as pastor. Warnock co-sponsored theWarnock-Cruz Amendment, which provided support for a bipartisan infrastructure project connecting Georgia and Texas. Warnock explained his decision to work with Sen.Ted Cruz (R-TX), saying, “There is a road that runs through our humanity…that is larger than politics, bigger than partisan bickering, certainly bigger than race…and my job as a legislator, and our job as citizens, is to find our way to that road that connects us to one another…so that every child can have access to a good, quality education, so that everybody can have affordable health care…Our job is to build out that road!”^[34] As of November 2022, Warnock’s campaign hadraised more than $123 million.^[35]

Walker was a Hall of Fame professional football player who attended the University of Georgia, represented the U.S. in the 1992 Olympics, and owned two food-supply businesses. Former PresidentDonald Trump (R) appointed Walker to the Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition in 2018. Walker said he also ran to save "our country and the great state of Georgia from President Biden’s disastrous agenda which has led to higher prices, out-of-control crime, dangerous open borders, and ‘America Last’ foreign policy. Weak leaders create bad results — and we are sick and tired of politicians not being held accountable for their actions."^[36] As of November 2022, Walker’s campaign hadraised nearly $38 million.^[37][38]

Missouri

Eric Schmitt (R) defeatedTrudy Busch Valentine (D),Paul Venable (Constitution Party), andJonathan Dine (L) in the general election for one of Missouri's U.S. Senate seats on November 8, 2022. Sen.Roy Blunt (R), who first took office in 2011, did not seek re-election.^[39]

Busch Valentine, the heiress of the Anheuser-Busch beer company, worked as a nurse.^[40] Busch Valentine said she wanted to fight the opioid epidemic, improve access to quality healthcare, and advocate for women's rights.^[41] She also criticized the state of politics in Missouri and called it divisive. "Our communities are strong, but our politics are broken. Too often neighbors and families just stop talking to each other, and the politicians in Washington continue to divide us even further," she said.^[42] Based on pre-general election reports filed with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), Busch Valentine cumulatively raised $12.0 million and spent $11.7 million.

Schmitt was appointedattorney general of Missouri in January 2019. He wastreasurer of Missouri from 2017 to 2019, and a member of theMissouri State Senate from 2008 to 2016. Schmitt ran on his record as attorney general and the lawsuits he filed against the federal government. Schmitt said, "[I have] taken a blow torch to Biden’s unconstitutional and unlawful policies to protect the America First Agenda." He also said that he was a "proven Conservative [who will] take the fight to the Senate and save our values, our culture, and our country."^[43] Based on pre-general election reports filed with the FEC, Schmitt cumulatively raised $5.7 million and spent $5.5 million.

Missouri's other U.S. senator,Josh Hawley (R), won the2018 election by a 5.8% margin.

Nevada

See also:United States Senate election in Nevada, 2022

Incumbent U.S. Sen.Catherine Cortez Masto (D) defeated former state Attorney GeneralAdam Laxalt (R) and three others in the general election forU.S. Senate in Nevada on November 8, 2022.

Time's Philip Elliott wrote, "The match-up [between Cortez Masto and] Republican Adam Laxalt is seen as a two-point race at best—and one that could decide if the Democrats hold their narrow majority in the Senate."^[44]

Sen.Harry Reid (D) held the seat from 1987 to 2017. Statewide elections in Nevada in 2016 and 2018 were decided by five percentage points or fewer.

In theNevada 2018 U.S. senate race,Jacky Rosen defeated incumbent Sen.Dean Heller (R) by five percentage points. In 2016, Cortez Mastodefeated then-incumbentJoe Heck (R) by 2.4 percentage points. The 2020 and 2016 presidential elections in Nevada were similarly close.Joe Biden (D) won the state of Nevada by 2.4 percentage points in the 2020 presidential election.Hillary Clinton (D) won the state in the 2016 presidential election by 2.4 percentage points.

The Cook Political Report’s Jessica Taylor said demographic shifts were one reason for the state's competitiveness. "Nevada is a uniquely transient state: half of those on the state's voter rolls have registered since 2016, when Cortez Masto was first elected," Taylor said. "Unaffiliated voters became the largest bloc in the state last fall," Taylor also said.^[45]

Time's Elliott said the state's Latino population would play an important role in the election's outcome. "Strategists anticipate about 15% to 20% of the electorate to identify as Hispanic or Latino—and could be even bigger as both sides are working to register new voters," Elliot said.^[44]

Cortez Masto, the first Latina elected to the U.S. Senate, took office in 2017 after defeating Heck (R) 47.1% to 44.7%. Before taking office, Cortez Masto served asNevada’s attorney general from 2007 to 2015.^[46]

Laxalt succeeded Cortez Masto as state attorney general, serving from 2015 to 2019. Laxalt was theRepublican gubernatorial nominee in 2018.Steve Sisolak (D) defeated Laxalt 49.4% to 45.3% in the general election. Laxalt is the grandson of former Nevada governor and U.S. Senator Paul Laxalt (R), and is the son of former U.S. Senator Pete Domenici (R-N.M.).^[47][48]

Cortez Masto focused on her support for abortion rights and criticized Laxalt for past comments he made about the 1973Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision.^[49] Cortez Masto also said that if Laxalt was elected, Senate Republicans would seek to implement a national ban on abortion. "If Mitch McConnell retakes the Senate, he won’t hesitate to bring a national abortion ban bill to a vote," Cortez Masto said.^[50] Cortez Masto also highlighted her vote for the Inflation Reduction Act of 2021 (IRA), a measure she said would reduce healthcare costs for Nevadans.^[51][52]

Laxalt focused on economic issues and said Cortez Masto's support for President Biden's economic initiatives contributed to the rise in inflation.^[53] Laxalt said that, as senator, he would "work quickly to restore fiscal sanity by stopping the spending spree that has led to record-breaking inflation."^[54] Laxalt also focused on immigration. Laxalt said he supported finishing the wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and said "there [was] nothing humane about an open border policy that encourages caravans of desperate people to risk their lives only to encounter overwhelmed border facilities."^[55]

Minor party, independent, and write-in candidates includedBarry Rubinson (Independent American Party),Neil Scott (Libertarian), andBarry Lindemann (Independent).

Hassan took office in 2017. Hassan said she worked with Republicans to end surprise medical billing and expand broadband access. She emphasized her support for a gas tax holiday through 2022 and said she worked to lower costs for residents. Hassan said Bolduc "[was] running on an extreme, anti-choice agenda and would be a clear yes vote to ban abortion in all fifty states."^[56][57]

Bolduc, a retired Army brigadier general, said the election "[was] about the economy, fiscal responsibility and the safety and security of this nation." He attributed inflation and high gas prices to Hassan and other Democrats. Bolduc's campaign ads emphasized his military background and called Hassan a career politician. Bolduc said he'd support allowing states to set abortion policy.^[58]

Bolduc spent $1.9 million.^[59] In 2020, Sen.Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) spent $19 million on her re-election bid, and challengerBryant Messner (R) spent $7 million.^[60] In Hassan's first Senate bid in 2016, she spent $19 million to incumbent Sen.Kelly Ayotte's (R) $16 million.^[61]

In the state's2020 Senate election, Shaheen defeated Messner by a margin of 15.6 percentage points. In2016, Hassan defeated Ayotte by 0.1 percentage points.

Ryan campaigned on a range of economic issues, including revitalizing the state's manufacturing industry, a federal $15 minimum wage, the PRO Act, renegotiating existing foreign trade deals, and expanding affordable healthcare.^[69] According to theDayton Daily News, Ryan's campaign focused on blue-collar workers and issues.^[70] Ryan said, "You know, I think the last thing that the United States Senate needs is another millionaire who got funded by a billionaire to the tune of $15 million or who comes out of Silicon Valley."^[71]Sherrod Brown (D), Ohio's other U.S. senator, endorsed Ryan.^[72]

Vance served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 2003 to 2007, before working in venture capital in San Francisco. In 2016, he wroteHillbilly Elegy, a memoir about growing up in Middletown, Ohio.

John Fetterman (D) defeatedMehmet Oz (R) and six other candidates in Pennsylvania’sU.S. Senate election on November 8, 2022. Incumbent SenatorPat Toomey (R) did not seek re-election.

Fetterman served as Pennsylvania’s lieutenant governor. In2018, he was elected 58% to 41% on a joint ticket with incumbent GovernorTom Wolf (D). In a campaign ad, Fetterman said, "Our economy is a mess because of Washington, [and] the rich, powerful, the insiders, and the lobbyists. [...] We must make more stuff in America, cut taxes for working families, [and] Congress shouldn't play in the stock market."^[75] To read more about Fetterman's key messages,click here.

This race was Oz’s first run for political office. Oz was a retired surgeon and hostedThe Dr. Oz Show on daytime television from 2009 to 2022.^[76] In a campaign ad, Oz said, "We're facing rising crime, crushing inflation, lives unraveling. [...] I'll heal us, and bring change to our divided nation. Doctors fix big things. I fixed hearts and fought for every last one of them."^[77] To read more about Oz's key messages,click here.

CBS News' Sarah Ewall-Wice wrote, "The Senate race in Pennsylvania is a crucial battleground for both parties fighting over who will control the Senate after the November elections. Democrats see it as a possible pickup, with GOP Senator Pat Toomey retiring."^[78]Roll Call's Niels Lesniewski wrote, "Keeping the seat in Republican hands is an important part of the party's effort to flip control of the 50-50 Senate."^[79]

The Philadelphia Inquirer's Julia Terruso wrote about the candidates' campaigns, saying, "Fetterman’s campaign holds large, energetic rallies, [while] Oz stages smaller community-based events." Terruso also wrote, "Both candidates have slammed the other’s events as evidence of the other’s weaknesses. Fetterman’s campaign tweets out crowd photos, claiming Oz can’t fill big rooms. Oz’s campaign points to Fetterman’s 10-minute speeches and refusal to take reporter or audience questions afterward in an attempt to cast doubt on Fetterman’s health."^[80] Fetterman had a stroke on May 15, 2022.

InPennsylvania's 2018 senate race, incumbentBob Casey Jr. (D) defeatedLou Barletta (R) 56% to 43%. In2016, Toomey won re-election againstKatie McGinty (D) 49% to 47%.

Open seats

Ballotpedia considers a seat to be open if the incumbent representative did not file to run for re-election or if they filed for re-election but withdrew before the primary. If an incumbent filed to run in a different district than the one they currently represent, Ballotpedia considers the seat they currently represent as open, as long as no incumbent from another district is running in it. A seat created as a result of a state gaining a new congressional district due toapportionment is also considered open if no incumbent is running in it.

This section do not include vacant seats filled by special election before November 8, 2022, unless no incumbents appeared on the regular primary ballot for that seat.

Seats open at the time of the primary

The table and map below only include seats that were open at the time the state held its congressional primary. For a list of seats that opened up as a result of an incumbent losing re-election in a primary, see thefollowing section.

On December 8, 2023, GovernorBrian Kemp (R) signed revised congressional maps into law. Legislators in theGeorgia House of Representatives voted 98-71 to adopt the new congressional map on December 7. TheGeorgia State Senate voted 32-22 to adopt the congressional map on December 5.^[141][142]

On October 26, 2023, theUnited States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia ruled that the state's congressional and legislative district boundaries violated theVoting Rights Act and enjoined the state from using them for future elections.^[143] The court directed theGeorgia General Assembly to develop new maps by December 8, 2023.^[143]

On December 28, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District upheld the maps enacted on December 8, which were later used in the 2024 elections, and found them in compliance with the Voting Rights Act.^[144]

Thedistrict court's approval of remedial state legislative maps was appealed to theEleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Oral argument was held on January 23, 2025.^[147]

Louisiana

On June 27, 2025, theU.S. Supreme Court scheduledLouisiana v. Callais for reargument in its next term.^[148] In August 2025, the Court scheduled arguments for October 15, 2025.^[149]

The Court first heard oral arguments in the case on March 24, 2025.^[150] On November 4, 2024, theU.S. Supreme Court agreed to hearLouisiana v. Callais (formerlyCallais v. Landry) consolidated withRobinson v. Callais — two appeals from theU.S. District Court for Western Louisiana decision that struck down the state's new congressional map. The Court noted probable jurisdiction and allotted one hour for oral argument.^[151][152]

On May 15, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court blocked an April 30 ruling by the U.S. District Court for Western Louisiana striking down the state's congressional map. As a result, the map was used for Louisiana’s 2024 congressional elections.^[153] According toScotusBlog,

Gov.Jeff Landry signed the congressional map into law on January 22 after a special legislative session. Thestate House of Representatives voted 86-16 and thestate Senate voted 27-11 to adopt this congressional map on January 19.^[154][155]

According toNPR, "Under the new map, Louisiana's 2nd District, which encompasses much of New Orleans and surrounding areas, will have a Black population of about 53%. Democratic U.S. Rep. Troy Carter represents that district, which has been Louisiana's only majority-Black district for several years. Louisiana's 6th District now stretches from parts of Shreveport to Baton Rouge and will have a Black population of about 56%."^[156]

Ohio

On March 2, 2022, the Ohio Redistricting Commission approved a redrawn congressional map in a 5-2 vote along party lines, meaning the map lasted for four years.^[157] On March 18, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled that it did not have jurisdiction to overturn the map before the state's primary elections as part of the legal challenge that overturned the initial congressional map.^[158] This map took effect for Ohio's 2022 congressional elections.

Utah

Utah enacted new congressional districts on November 12, 2021, after Gov.Spencer Cox (R) signed a map proposal approved by the House and the Senate. The enacted map was drafted by the legislature and differed from a proposal the Utah Independent Redistricting Commission released on November 5, 2021.^[159] The congressional map passed the Utah House 50-22 on November 9, 2021, with five Republicans and all Democratic House members voting against it. The Senate approved the map on November 10, 2021, in a 21-7 vote. Before signing the congressional map, Cox said he would not veto any maps approved by the legislature. He said, "The Legislature is fully within their rights to actually make those decisions and decide where they want to draw those lines."^[160] This map took effect for Utah's 2022 congressional elections.

TheUtah Supreme Court ruled on July 11, 2024, that the legislature's override of Proposition 4 likely violated voters' constitutional right to participate in government.^[161] The Court returned the case to Third District Court Judge Dianna Gibson to determine whether the legislature's changes to the ballot initiative were "narrowly tailored to advance a compelling government interest."^[162] On August 25, 2025, Gibson struck down the state's congressional map, writing, "The nature of the violation lies in the Legislature’s refusal to respect the people’s exercise of their constitutional lawmaking power and to honor the people’s right to reform their government."^[163] On September 15, 2025, theUtah Supreme Court rejected the legislature's appeal to pause the district court ruling, allowing plans to redraw the map by November 10, 2025, to proceed.^[164]

On October 6, 2025, the Utah Legislature approved a new congressional map to submit to the judge for consideration that made two districts more competitive while leaving all four districts leaning Republican.^[165] The same day, the plaintiffs in the case against the original map that was struck down also submitted two maps to the judge for consideration.^[166] On November 10, 2025, the judge ruled that a plaintiff-drawn map shifting one district Democratic would be used in the 2026 elections.^[167]
