Incumbent Republican Keith Rothfus faces off for the second time against Democrat Erin McClelland. Rothfus has a fundraising edge, with nearly $1.5 million compared to McClelland’s $196,739. Polling has McClelland as a long shot to win, and Rothfus calls her a “symbol of [the] failed liberal status quo.” McClelland has criticized Rothfus for a number of votes, including voting against Hurricane Sandy relief and the Violence Against Women Act.
