New Hampshire --

Chris Pappas was projected to win Tuesday night's Democratic primary for the 1st Congressional District, according to The Associated Press, besting the son of a marquee name in the party, in order to go up against GOP winner Eddie Edwards in November.

The congressional primary featured a crowded field of 11 Democratic candidates, including Levi Sanders, the son of 2016 presidential candidate Bernie Sanders.

On the Republican side, state Sen. Andy Sanborn conceded to Edwards in a five-person field Tuesday night. Edwards, a former police chief, was endorsed by Donald Trump-surrogate Rudy Giuliani, though the president himself did not chime in.

"I am so humbled that so many people were motivated to help me on this campaign; that means so much to me," Edwards said in his victory speech.

In the state's governor race, the Associated Press has projected that Democrat Molly Kelly has won the New Hampshire primary race and will face Republican Gov. Chris Sununu in November.

When Sanders announced his run in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District, a lot of people thought one major endorsement would be imminent -- from his father, the 2016 presidential candidate.

“My father doesn't believe in nepotism so I may not have his official endorsement, but I am humbled to have his support,” the younger Sanders wrote on the campaign page.

In a statement to the The Boston Globe in June, Bernie Sanders said, “Levi has spent his life in service to low-income and working families, and I am very proud of all that he has done,” he said.

So far, the best day of Sanders’s campaign was the first day. The Sanders name doesn’t do him a lot of good without his dad’s fundraising network to fund him.

“In our family, however, we do not believe in dynastic politics," the statement continued. "Levi is running his own campaign in his own way.”

Since the younger Sanders announced his run at the end of February, the campaign has leveled off.

“‘Leveled off’ would be a generous statement to describe Levi’s campaign,” Dante Scala, professor of political science at the University of New Hampshire, told ABC News. “I would be surprised if he finishes in the top half of the field [of 11].”

Scala attributes the lull in the campaign to several factors. He said Sanders “apparently” never received access to Bernie’s mailing list, he raised little money and does not live in the first congressional district.

Additionally, Scala said, Sanders “became notorious for complaining about how the NH Democratic Party was treating him.”

In our family...we do not believe in dynastic politics. Levi is running his own campaign in his own way.

As of Aug. 22, Sanders had raised $39,270.48, according to the FEC filing site. By comparison, fellow Democratic candidate Chris Pappas had raised over $820,000, as of the same date.

Sanders placed sixth in a poll by Saint Anselm College’s New Hampshire Institute of Politics, trailing behind Pappas by more than 40 percent.

Scala told ABC News earlier this summer that Sanders best day on the campaign trail was his first.

“So far, the best day of Sanders’s campaign was the first day," he said. "The Sanders name doesn’t do him a lot of good without his dad’s fundraising network to fund him. And he lives far outside the district, and that hurts as one might expect."

"Activists here have high standards for campaigns,” he said.

The Sanders campaign did not return ABC News' request for comment.
