The House seems as if it could go either way this year. The nine races laid out in this article could very well decide the House’s majority. Let’s lift them up in prayer.
From The Hill. The battlefield for the House majority is starting to come into focus as more states hold primaries ahead of November. …
Discuss issues you care about with other intercessors.
Here are nine House races that will help determine who controls the majority in the lower chamber this fall:
California’s 13th Congressional District
In California’s 13th District, Republican Rep. John Duarte and Democrat Adam Gray are advancing to a rematch.
Duarte finished roughly 9 points ahead in this year’s primary — but he won the midterms by just a couple hundred votes. …
California’s 22nd Congressional District
In California’s 22nd Congressional District, Democrat Rudy Salas advanced to the general election with Republican Rep. David Valadao, setting up a rematch after they went toe-to-toe in a close midterm race. …
In the midterms, Valadao beat Salas by just 3 points. …
California’s 47th Congressional District
In Orange County, Democrat Rep. Katie Porter left her House seat to lodge an unsuccessful bid for the state’s rare open Senate seat. …
Democratic state Sen. Dave Min will go up against Republican Scott Baugh as the GOP tries to flip the seat previously held by the progressive lawmaker. …
Michigan’s 7th Congressional District
Rep. Elissa Slotkin’s (D-Mich.) decision to seek retiring Sen. Debbie Stabenow’s (D) seat leaves her spot in the House up for grabs.
Republican Tom Barrett, who lost to Slotkin by around 5 points back in 2022, is running again for the seat, while the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) has backed former Democratic state Sen. Curtis Hertel. …
“The path to growing the Republican majority runs through seats like Elissa Slotkin’s,” said the GOP’s House campaign arm.
New York’s 4th Congressional District
Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-N.Y.) is running in one of the most unpredictable toss-up races in the country this year. …
He pulled off a win against Democrat Laura Gillen by more than 3 points, despite Biden carrying the district by almost 15. …
Gillen is running again and could be poised for a rematch with D’Esposito. With Biden likely to easily carry New York in November, D’Esposito will have to rely on a relatively high amount of split-ticket voters as he did two years ago to win a second term.
New York’s 17th Congressional District
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) won a major surprise victory in 2022 when he defeated Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, the then-chair of House Democrats’ campaign arm, by just over half a percentage point. …
He seems likely to face former Rep. Mondaire Jones (D-N.Y.), who previously represented the district but lost a primary in a different district after the maps were redrawn. …
New York’s 22nd Congressional District
Of all the potentially vulnerable New York House Republicans this fall, Rep. Brandon Williams (R-N.Y.) may have the most significant uphill battle.
He won election to his House seat by a point and a half in a district Biden carried by 7 points, but his reelection bid just became a bit more difficult thanks to the updated map. …
Ohio’s 9th Congressional District
Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D-Ohio) has represented her state’s 9th Congressional District for four decades and had a reliable Democratic-leaning constituency throughout much of her career. But Ohio’s redistricting process after 2020 made her district a battleground. …
Winning the district would be a boost to Republicans looking to pad their majority and give themselves some breathing room with other tough battlegrounds in bluer states.
Oregon’s 5th Congressional District
Also on the West Coast, Democrats are looking to take back a seat that flipped into Republican hands for the first time in decades when Republican Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer won Oregon’s 5th Congressional District in the midterms.
Chavez-DeRemer won by 2 points against Democrat Jamie McLeod-Skinner last cycle, becoming the first Republican woman to represent Oregon in Congress. …
Democrats’ House campaign arm has put its backing behind Oregon state Rep. Janelle Bynum. …
It’s important that we cover these close races in prayer. Share this article to provide believers with important intercessory intelligence!

I am very glad that you are publishing this list of candidates that we need to support and pray for.
I’m looking forward to seeing even more candidates on this list in the future.
I’m collecting this list and plan to distribute it to my friends.
Father God, please guide these critical elections with your Holy power, wisdom, and love. We ask that the candidates who win will have solid and traditional American values as do the majority of our citizens. We ask that those who are elected have Judeo-Christian values. We ask that the winners of these elections believe in and will adhere to the values of our Declaration, our Constitution, and Bill of Rights. We ask that these people will follow the laws of the land. We also pray for beliefs that are proved and researched and show common sense and practicality in the people that are elected. Oh dearest God, we pray for this difficult situation to be submitted in our prayers to You and Your will be done completely in these elections. Amen.
These are for races in November, correct?
More Special elections are coming BEFORE November.

So many races, Father. So many seats to be filled by those who love our country and our Constitution. I ask that you would be in each of these elections. I ask that people would vote YOUR values. Continue to give us repentance so you will heal our land. We praise your name.
Very important Texas Dist 12 race for Kay Granger’s seat. RINO Craig Goldman against John O’Shea Patriot and America first candidate. Establishment is behind Goldman but grassroots behind o’Shea. Please pray for John!
Father we pray for honest elections and for your will to be done.
In Jesus name.
Dear Heavenly Father I pray your will over these and all elections. Please guide your followers in voting according to your word and standards. Promote and prosper those candidates who know you and have a relationship with you and strengthen them to stand on and for your word in making decisions that affect us. In Jesus Mighty Name we pray.
