Bernie's Son Gets Blown Out in Primary...

Bernie Sanders' Son Levi Loses New Hampshire Congressional Primary


Lucas Jackson



Levi Sanders, the son of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) was handily defeated on Tuesday night in his bid for New Hampshire's 1st Congressional District, a perennial swing district that was vacated by Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-NH). Sanders was viewed as an underdog in the race before Tuesday. He also ran without the explicit of endorsement of his father, who said in a statement this summer: “Levi has spent his life in public service to low-income and working families, and I am very proud of all that he has done. In our family, however, we do not believe in dynastic politics. Levi is running his own campaign in his own way." Chris Pappas, a member of the New Hampshire Executive Council, won the primary after also beating back Maura Sullivan, an Iraq War veteran and former Obama administration official who raised more money than him and had been criticized for moving to the state last year. When the race was called, Sanders was in seventh place out of eleven candidates.
