              an open seat candidate.  (E.g., those

               test in a previous election cycle who

               dates participating in special elec-
               tions to fill vacant seats are coded
              to the open-seat category.  However,
               post-election contributions to the 
               winner of the special election are
               coded as contributions to an incum-
              bent.
