Well it’s a competitive 3-way primary (with a 4th nobody).

Grothman was in the race before the sub-par incumbent Petri withdrew, and it sounds like he’s the most conservative candidate, a real firebrand.

The rats have a real candidate, but he’s at a financial disadvantage, and it’s a Republican district.

Yeah, you’d have to go back to 1964 to the last time the Democrats won that seat. There’s only been 2 members since 1966, the legendary Bill Steiger (who was all of 28 when he won and who died prematurely at just 40), and Petri, who won his seat when Steiger died in a 1979 special.
