Maine state auditor Matt Dunlap is projected to win the Democratic primary in the race to replace outgoing Rep. Jared Golden in Maine’s 2nd Congressional District.
The Associated Press called the race early Friday morning, 10 days after the June 9 primary.
Dunlap, a progressive candidate who was the Maine co-chair for Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign, will face Paul LePage, the state’s former Republican governor, in the general election in November. It’s one of the most closely watched races for both parties looking to win the House majority.
