Five under-the-radar races to watch this year

Utah special GOP House primary
Utah Republicans will head to the polls on Tuesday to weigh in on which three GOP candidates should replace Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) in the state’s 2nd Congressional District. Stewart announced in late May that he was resigning from his seat, citing his wife’s health.
Sept. 19
Pennsylvania state House special election
Democrats are bracing for another special election in the Pennsylvania state House, which will determine the partisan tilt of the lower chamber.

A state Supreme Court race this November could put Republicans one step closer toward clinching a majority on the high court in Pennsylvania.
Virginia General Assembly elections
Virginia is set to hold elections for its General Assembly in November, with Democrats currently holding the majority in the state Senate 22-18 while Republicans control the House of Delegates at 49-46.
