    Chris Pappas, a former state legislator and current member of the Executive Council that advises New Hampshire’s governor, won Tuesday’s race and would be the state’s first openly gay congressman.

    Bernie Sanders declined to endorse his son, saying in a statement released in February when Levi Sanders announced his candidacy that the Sanders family does not “believe in dynastic politics.”

    The elder Sanders also said: “I am very proud of Levi’s commitment to public service and his years of work on behalf of low income and working people. Levi will be running his own campaign, in his own way, with his own ideas. the decision as to who to vote for will be determined by the people of New Hampshire’s first district and no one else,” the statement also said.

    Levi Sanders’ platform included Medicare for all, free college tuition, a higher minimum wage, addressing the opioid crisis and “sensible” gun legislation. Many of the planks mirrored his father’s 2016 presidential campaign.

    He lost because his platform is not supported by hard working Americans.
    Medicare for all – paid for by whom?
    Free college tuition – are the teachers working for free?
    A higher minimum wage – already been proven to cost the jobs of those they supposedly help ie; California.
    Addressing the opioid crisis – How? By legalizing more drugs?
    “sensible” gun legislation – we already have that, it hasn’t helped much.
