A grass-roots organizer and climate activist prevailed in the Democratic primary for a battleground House district in Michigan on Tuesday, according to The Associated Press, scoring another victory for the party’s progressive wing in a district pivotal for the fight to control Congress. Backed by Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Mr. Lawrence centered his campaign on opposing data centers, increasing taxes on billionaires and passing legislation for universal health care. The group has not yet disclosed its donors, but Republican PACs have meddled in a series of Democratic primary races this year. On the campaign trail, Mr. Lawrence slammed “corporate-funded candidates,” pointing to his pledge to reject corporate PAC money.
