The fight for the Democratic nomination here had long been seen as a fight between Matt Maasdam, a former Navy SEAL, and Bridget Brink, a diplomat who served as ambassador to Ukraine in the aftermath of Russia’s invasion. Both candidates had raised millions of dollars as of March, far outpacing Lawrence.

But the 35-year-old Lawrence has surged in recent weeks, earning the backing of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Abdul El-Sayed, the progressive favorite in the state’s U.S. Senate race. The race is now seen as firmly a three-way contest.

I don't think this Lawrence guy is a good fit for this district. It's too red/purple. I hope voters think of who is electable in the general.
