Former federal prosecutor Ryan Crosswell, who resigned in protest in February over the Trump administration’s handling of criminal cases, has tossed his hat in the ring for the Democratic nomination for the 7th Congressional District seat.
Crosswell becomes the third Democrat to join the race to win back the Lehigh Valley seat won by Republican Ryan Mackenzie in November. Northampton County Executive Lamont McClure and first-time candidate Carol Obando-Derstine previously announced their intentions to run.
