2020 AZ special,CO,ME,and NC US Senate Election- Likely Democratic Nominee.

US Senate seats AZ special,CO,ME,and NC are the most vulnerable Republican held US Senate Seats up in 2020.
Democratic candidates for the US Senate Election in:
AZ(McSally-R)Ruben Gallego-D,Mark Kelly-D,Ann Kirkpatrick-D,Greg Stanton-D,and Grant Woods-D.
Mark Kelly-D is the likely Democratic Nominee for the 2020 US Senate Election in AZ. Kelly-D is the strongest candidate to win in the primary and general election. He is a retired astronaut,retired navy officer, and gun control advocate. Kelly-D is also the husband of former AZ US Congressman Gabby Giffords who survived the 2011 Tuscon shooting. Mark Kelly-D can appeal to the base and McCain Independents.
Ruben Gallego-D is too liberal to win statewide, Ann Kirkpatrick-D and Greg Stanton-D are highly unlikely to give up their US House seats they were elected to in 2018 and are favored to get re-elected to in 2020 to run for the US Senate Race which they have a 50 percent chance of winning. Grant Woods-D has to make it out of the primary.
CO(Gardner-D) Ed Perlmutter-D is the most electable and most experienced candidate for the US Senate. He is a former 2 term CO State Senator and current 7 term US House Member from the Jefferson County Area which is in the Western Denver Suburbs.
John Hickenlooper-D is focused on the 2020 US Presidential Race. Cary Kennedy-D is going to become incoming Governor Jared Polis's senior advisor on fiscal policy. Stanley Garnett-D, Mike Johnston-D, Andrew Romanoff-D, and Joe Salazar-D have lost previous statewide elections in the primary and general election. Crisanta Duran-D will have trouble winning outside the Denver/Boulder Area.
ME(Collins-R) Susan Rice-D would be the safe choice. She is President Obama's former UN Ambassador and National Security Advisor. US Representatives Chellie Pingree-D and Jared Golden-D are unlikely to give up their safe or potentially safe US House seats for a US Senate Race they might be an underdog in unless Collins-R loses in the primary. Sara Gideon-D will have trouble winning outside the Portland Area.
NC(Tillis-R) Josh Stein-D is the most experienced and most electable candidate for the US Senate. He is a former 4 term state Senator and current 1 term state Attorney General.
