## RDH Date Retrieval
March 2026

## Sources
The RDH received the starting incumbent data (name, district, party, gender, race, and home address) from Dr. Carl E. Klarner (klarnerpolitics.org). The RDH updated legislator rosters by comparing with current state legislative websites and the L2 voter file. See Processing Steps below for details.

Note: This file was processed in early March 2026 and may not capture changes to legislative rosters since that time.

## Processing Steps
The starting point for this dataset was the 2021 incumbent data compiled by Dr. Carl E. Klarner, which included legislators' name, district, party, gender, race, and home address.

Legislative rosters and district assignments were updated by comparing with the current online roster: https://www.house.gov/representatives.

The updated list of legislators was then matched with a snapshot of the L2 voter file pulled on October 3, 2025.

An initial broad match was made on the state legislative district and legislator last name. Exact matches on district and last name were further reviewed to confirm first name, address, party, gender, and race/ethnicity. If all fields matched, the 2021 address was retained and the updating process was considered complete.

In cases where there was a single match based on district and last name, and the first name, party, gender, and race/ethnicity also matched, the new address was used and the updating process was considered complete.

In cases where there was more than one match based on district and last name, and no single entry in the voter file matched on first name, party, gender, and race/ethnicity, further research was conducted. The most commonly used outside sources were candidate and campaign finance filings, as well as county parcel lookup tools.

## Additional Notes
