Retirements
55 current members of the House - 33 Democrats and 22 Republicans - will not be standing for reelection in November. This includes the aforementioned Connie Conway; she did not run for a full two-year term in the California statewide primary.
Five of the departures are incumbents who were defeated in a party primary. The most recent of those was Republican Tom Rice (SC-07), who was ousted this past Tuesday.

Redistricting

Louisiana is the only state without an active map. Earlier this month, a federal court invalidated the previously-enacted map, saying it was in violation of Section 2 of The Voting Rights Act. A short stay was lifted. The ruling ordered the Legislature to draft a new map by June 20. Leaders there have asked for an extension of the deadline.
