Tomorrow is my Congressional primary

I live in the 11th District in NYC. The district covers all of Staten Island and part of Brooklyn. Here is more about the district: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York%27s_11th_congressional_district

Our current Rep. is Dan Donovan, who votes with the Dems a lot. He is being challenged by our former Rep., convicted felon Michael Grimm.

There are several Dems on the ballot which tells me that the party thinks the district can be flipped. The primary candidates are:
Michael DeVito Jr.
Zach Emig
Radhakrishna Mohan
Max Rose
Paul Sperling
Omar Vaid

Here is more about them: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13SATcx3OMKwrM8BIjlSQ2cifnuz6sWyX/view

I have already decided on one candidate based on his positions, background and demographic fit for the district, but want DU to give me a reality check in case I missed something.

Looking forward to hearing from everyone. Thanks,

Guy who threatened a reporter, went to jail, and claims "political persecution."

Does he stand a chance?
