We have a Paul Ryan protegee running for reelection in my Congressional district. A total of 10 Democrats stepped up to run against her - and one other Republican. Six were still running as of the June 26th Democratic primary. This is a Republican leaning district and I can remember when the Democrats didn't even bother to field a candidate. I'm hoping that this is just part of a trend!
