NJ gop congressmen

Specifically Leonard Lance, Rodney Frelinghuysen . Also Josh Gottheimer a dem congressman in a GOP leaning district. How do you see them doing in 2018?

A few notes:

1. Andy Kim is considering running against Tom MacArthur. Kim was an Obama national security adviser and Rhodes scholar, so it looks he can mount a serious campaign and also probably raise quite a bit of money. MacArthur is a sneaky good campaigner who can raise lots of money, and his district (Burlington-Ocean) is probably among the most Trump friendly in New Jersey.

2. John McKeon is a Democratic assemblyman in LD-27, which covers part (but not all, I would say about a third) of Frelinghuysen's district. I highly doubt Frelinghuysen loses -- the man is an institution in New Jersey and his family's name is everywhere -- but he would be the strongest get Dems could get for the seat.

3. Haven't seen a serious challenger emerge for Leonard Lance yet. The guy who ran against him lat year (Peter Jacob) ran a somewhat decent campaign but still got trounced and can't raise money. And Lance voted against AHCA so he gets to keep his moderate credentials.
