The race for congressional District 22, held by longtime GOP incumbent Devin Nunes, has been downgraded from safely Republican to likely Republican by a closely watched political forecasting website run by the University of Virginias Center for Politics.
Sabatos Crystal Ball, run by University of Virginias Center for Politics, cited the enormous amount of money raised by Democratic challenger Andrew Janz as one factor making the race more competitive.
Campaign filings show Janz has raised nearly $1.4 million in the last year, including $600,000 in the month of February alone.
However, Nunes has raised $2.6 million in the same amount of time, giving him over $4.5 million in cash on hand as of this month. He has also outspent Janz at $1.3 million to $783,000.
District 22 is a historically Republican district, the Crystal Ball noted, although one where Donald Trump did worse in 2016 than Mitt Romney did in 2012. It runs from Tulare County north to Clovis and parts of Fresno.

(94,950 posts)This is still a stretch, AND there are 56 other races that are currently projected to be more winnable (we need net 23). Best wishes to Andrew Janz, but I don't select races to support based on the pitch of "I want to beat (insert evil Republican here)".
