A rare bright spot for Colorado Rs in an increasingly blue state.

Luzerne County Historian: Prediction: Evans gets knocked out in the midterms since midterms always favor the party in opposition to the sitting president.

Maybe. Both the BOE and Regents races using the same map went to the GOP by more comfortable margins. And this seat has been trending to the GOP based on registration numbers alone.

Still, I was looking which D latino legislators might queue up for a run since this district was constructed to be the new latino district. Maybe she runs a gain. Will Democrats give her another try? She has been in two very close races. Might be a stronger Democrat that chooses to run.
