So if my current congressman loses his election in November, how will that affect my nomination process?

KS-03, Representative Yoder.From which district are you?So if my current congressman loses his election in November, how will that affect my nomination process?
I'll make a guess if he wins or loses.
This will be a close one. Incumbents this cycle are being primaried out. Yoder won his but has stiff resistance from the resistance in the general election. As with many mid-terms in November, KS 3 will depend on turnout. My wife is from that area and still has family there. The demographics have shifted a bit and I call this a toss up, but if I was forced to make a call, I would say Yoder will win.KS-03, Representative Yoder.From which district are you?So if my current congressman loses his election in November, how will that affect my nomination process?

Hopefully he does. If only I were 18 sooner and could have a say!This will be a close one. Incumbents this cycle are being primaried out.

This is an interesting race. As you noted, she has been in office three terms. She sits on committees important to Michiganders. James has a good story though and is a great communicator. As you've probably seen, Stabenow has a big lead in the polls but the polls have not always proven accurate as of late. I think James will close the gap by November but Stabenow will win.From which district are you?

Devil Doc, how do you see the Senate race in Michigan going? Stabenown (Dem) held office since 2001 vs. John James (GOP) Iraq Veteran

I am in MI; Stabenow has a huge lead in polls but James has not run any TV ads yet since primary so polls may be a bit misleading.
If he can campaign effectively in Detroit and other heavily African American areas he might be able to get close.
MI will have no straight ticket ballots this year so it will be a little harder for Stabenow to run the table in traditionally Democratic precincts. Apparently she has strong base in Michigan's Agricultural bloc [farm subsidies etc.] so its not just the urban areas.
Pence was here for a fundraiser 2 weeks back; if James can get a war chest to pay for ads he might have a chance.
Stabenow is blessed with Forrest Gump like luck on election cycle timing - she has never run in a year that did not heavily favor her party or her turnout chances. If she ran in 2016 she would have lost as the straight ticket wave carried all Republicans that year. I am hard pressed to tell you what she has accomplished for citizens of MI here since she was first elected - only news I remember was when her husband was busted leaving a 'No tell' motel with a working girl.
My congressman did all of his nominations before he left office last fall.So if my current congressman loses his election in November, how will that affect my nomination process?
Roger that.Agree with @billyb.
The SAF forum rules are quite specific: The purpose of this site is not to discuss politics.
Let's focus on assisting the OP and move any unrelated discussions to the appropriate forum.
Often, the new MOC will reuse the selection committee that is already in place. I serve on the committee for both senators and have done so though two transitions as have the rest of the committee. Many of the staffers have carried through across the transitions as wellAgree with @FMHS-79, the staff of the MoC office will most likely ensure that the process moves forward even as a transition occurs.
Focus on the things you CAN control.
Don't worry about the things you CAN'T.
