Incumbency in congressional elections is important in order for the majority party to maintain control over either the Congress or House of Representatives. Incumbency has its own perks including a good record of service, the perks of being a member of congress, and the attraction of more money. More money brings more success and so on. Being an incumbent definitely is an advantage in a congressional election, as name recognition is a primary factor in voter decision.
