Due to redistricting, the current representative of the 80th District, Janis Ringhand, is running in the 45th.

Strictly speaking then, an open seat.

However, the new boundaries of the 80th District contain a good chunk of the territory in the old 79th, which Sondy Pope-Roberts currently represents.  

For this reason, she is considered....

...the Democratic incumbent

Pope-Roberts won a 3-way primary with 49% of the vote.
