(The Center Square) — Democrat Stephany Shaheen will square off against Trump-endorsed Republican Anthony DiLorenzo in the November elections after winning the party's nomination to run for New Hampshire's wide-open 1st Congressional District seat. 

Shaheen, the daughter of outgoing U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, edged out former Obama administration official Maura Sullivan in Tuesday's Democratic primary, according to an unofficial tally by the Associated Press. The race was called after midnight, with Shaheen picking up 37% of the vote to Sullivan's 35%, and Carleigh Beriont placing third with about 87% of the votes counted, the AP reported. Five other Democrats were also on Tuesday's packed ballot.
