Rep. Ro Khanna is scheduled to campaign with Michigan congressional candidate Will Lawrence at a Brighton event ahead of the Aug. 4 primary. Lawrence is running in a district race rated a toss-up by the Cook Political Report.
WHMI reports that Khanna is scheduled to join Lawrence at a June 28 campaign Day of Action at Genoa Township Park, where volunteers will also begin canvassing in the Brighton area. Lawrence is also scheduled to hold a June 30 event in downtown Brighton with music, remarks and a question-and-answer session.
Lawrence is seeking the Democratic nomination in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District against Bridget Brink and Matthew Maasdam. Republican Rep.
