False. Incumbents often have a significant advantage when seeking reelection in Congress. This is due to a variety of factors including name recognition, access to campaign finance, constituent services, and experience in campaigning. Collectively, these advantages contribute to a high rate of incumbent reelection, a phenomenon sometimes referred to as "incumbency advantage."
