In Short: Jeanne Shaheen holds a slight lead over Maura Sullivan in the Democratic primary for New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District.

The race, which attracted eight Democratic challengers, saw Sullivan raise more financial support, but Shaheen maintained a narrow lead throughout the evening.

Despite Sullivan's fundraising edge, Shaheen closed out the night with a roughly 2% lead in the primary.

The primary is for the open seat left by retiring Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen, with a general election set to follow.
