General election[edit]
At one point, Renzi appeared to have an easy race for his third term when Democrat Jack Jackson Jr., a Native American former state representative, dropped his challenge. Democrats then drafted civil rights attorney Ellen Simon, who won the Democratic primary. Despite entering the race in May, Simon had been able to raise $821,595 as of August 23. However, she still trailed Renzi significantly in cash on hand as Renzi held on to a slight lead in the polls.
In mid-August CQPolitics changed their rating of this race from Safe Republican to Leans Republican.[2] The most recent Cook Political Report rating was: Leans Republican.
Nevertheless, Renzi was able to hold on to his lead, and won by eight percentage points.[3]
| Candidate | Votes | % |
|---|---|---|
Rick Renzi | 98,243 | 51.8% |
| Ellen Simon | 82,390 | 43.4% |
| David Schlosser | 9,054 | 4.8% |
