Pennsylvania state Rep. Chris Rabb won the Democratic primary for the 3rd Congressional District, putting him on track to succeed retiring Rep. Dwight Evans in a district with no Republican in the race.
Rabb won the competitive Philadelphia-area primary on May 19. The article says no Republican is running, so Rabb is expected to be elected in November. He is identified as a democratic socialist and is set to succeed retiring Rep. Dwight Evans.
Rabb campaigned on affordability, abolishing the death penalty and ICE, recognizing a Palestinian state, addressing climate change, universal child care, and free public colleges and vocational training. Sharif Street and Ala Stanford were his primary opponents. Street had endorsements from Sen. Cory Booker and other Democratic leaders and organizations; Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez endorsed Rabb.
