Candidates in several states with competitive House and Senate races are beginning the stretch run of election season with Labor Day events at festivals, union halls and parades. This year’s campaigns already have been combative, busy and expensive. They are expected to get even more so as a larger number of voters tune in ahead of the Nov. 3 general election. Some of the busiest states are the handful with competitive Senate races, such as Maine, Ohio, Georgia and Michigan. Republicans control the chamber, but Democrats see a path to taking it back if they can flip four seats and hold on in competitive states where they hold a seat.
