Yeah, normally when someone in the House runs for higher office, we don't include them on this chart because they're leaving their seat open. But NJ, of course, holds gov elections in odd years, so if Sherrill or Gottheimer fail to win the primary, they could still seek reelection next year. So we've got to include them for now, even if the numbers don't make a *ton* of sense.
