Campaign Round-Up — Dec. 4, 2025

Here are the latest campaign developments from around the United States.

Darrell Issa (R) — After recent speculation that he might relocate to Texas, Rep. Darrell Issa told reporters he will seek re-election in his California district in 2026, according to Fox News.

Henry Cuellar (D) — The Texas congressman, who drew attention after receiving a pardon from former President Donald Trump and faced party-switching rumors, confirmed to reporters that he will run for re-election as "a conservative Democrat."

Mary Robichaux (D) — In Georgia, Robichaux defeated incumbent Republican Mayor Kurt Wilson to win the Roswell mayoral contest; Wilson had been supported by Gov. Brian Kemp.

Ayanna Pressley (D) — Rep. Pressley, who had considered a U.S. Senate bid in Massachusetts, announced she will run for re-election to her House seat. Incumbent Sen. Ed Markey remains on the ballot and faces a Democratic primary challenge from Rep. Seth Moulton.

Jim McGreevey (D) — The former New Jersey governor mounted a comeback bid in Jersey City's mayoral race but lost decisively to local councilman James Solomon; both candidates were Democrats.

Charles Booker (D) — Kentucky state Rep. Charles Booker launched a U.S. Senate campaign this week, aiming for the seat being vacated by retiring Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell.

Chicago-Area Succession — Rep. Chuy Garcia's retirement, timed in a way that critics say favored his chosen successor, has opened a contested field. His longtime chief of staff, Patty Garcia (no relation), now faces an independent bid from Mayra Macías, a lifelong Democrat and Latino-advocacy organizer.

Mike Lindell (R) — MyPillow founder Mike Lindell, known for promoting conspiracy theories, filed paperwork this week signaling plans to run for governor of Minnesota in 2026. If he proceeds, he would seek the Republican nomination.
