text: InFocus: Midterm MadnessThe 2022 midterm election is just under a year away, with all 435 House of Representatives seats and 34 Senate seats up for grabs. At a minimum, Republicans expect to take back control of the House, while the Senate remains a relative toss-up. Twenty-eight House members are not seeking reelection, with seventeen of those being Democrats. Some political commentators attempt to make a big deal out of the Democrat “retirements,” but the same number of Republicans are simply running for a different political position. For instance, five Republicans are retiring from the Senate, while Reps Billy Long (R-MO) and Vicky Hartzler (R-MO) are running for Senate in the same state.
