Levi Sanders Is Not His Father. He Keeps Telling That to Voters.

The district itself carries considerable significance for Democrats this fall.

It is a perennial battleground, with a seat that has alternated between parties — and the same two politicians — for a decade. Though currently held by a Democrat, it went for President Trump by two points in 2016, and Republicans see it as a potential target this fall.

Two Republican candidates are competing for their party’s nomination: Andy Sanborn, a state senator, and Eddie Edwards, a veteran and former police chief who was recently endorsed by Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Trump’s lawyer. (The president has not yet weighed in on the race.)

On the Democratic side, the field is crowded and varied. There are the front-runners: Maura Sullivan, a former Marine and ex-official in the Obama administration with national support who moved to the district last year, and Chris Pappas, a New Hampshire Executive Council member who has been endorsed by top local Democrats, including Senator Jeanne Shaheen.

There is the retired trial lawyer, the environmental scientist, the junior politico, the Army veteran, the labor leader, the telegenic businessman and two awe-shucks-we’re-running-because-we-can-ers.

Then there is Levi Sanders.

Mr. Sanders, whose mother is Susan Campbell Mott, his father’s girlfriend at the time, has long been a fixture in his father’s political career, appearing with him from the time he was two years old. There is, it would seem, perhaps no other person as familiar with the Bernie Sanders brand of anti-establishment, populist progressivism.

During the 2016 presidential campaign, the younger Mr. Sanders played a role in the effort to humanize the senator. On Halloween in 2015, the press dutifully captured Levi Sanders and his three children — the White Witch, Sonic the Hedgehog and the Abominable Snowman — as their grandfather loped alongside them. The following January, Mr. Sanders introduced his father at a town hall in Wolfeboro.
