General election race ratings

See also: Race rating definitions and methods

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in West Virginia in 2022. Information below was calculated on Feb. 24, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Thirteen candidates—three Democrats and 10 Republicans—filed to run for West Virginia's two U.S. House districts in 2022. That's 6.5 candidates per district, more than the 4.7 candidates per district in 2020 and 6.3 in 2018.

This was the first candidate filing deadline to take place under new district lines adopted during West Virginia's decennial redistricting process. West Virginia was apportioned two congressional districts, a decrease from the three apportioned after the 2010 census.

As a result of this lost district, two incumbents—Reps. David McKinley (R) and Alexander Mooney (R)—filed to run against one another in the 2nd District Republican primary. Rep. Carol Miller (R), who represented the 3rd District before redistricting, filed to run in the 1st District.

With three incumbents seeking re-election, none of the districts were left open in 2022. Between 2012 and 2022, there were two election cycles with an open district: 2014 and 2018.

Seven candidates—two Democrats and five Republicans—filed to run in the 2nd District and six—one Democrat and five Republicans—filed to run in the 1st District.
