WaPo:

By virtue of money in the bank, state Sen. Jamie B. Raskin and former WJLA anchor Kathleen Matthews are the clear front-runners in the Democratic primary for Maryland’s 8th Congressional District seat.

And with front-runnerhood comes increased scrutiny and attacks by opponents.

That was the case at the first candidate forum of the primary season Wednesday night. Matthews, who according to campaign finance reports raised about $500,000 in the first month of her candidacy, was called out as “a millionaire white woman” by independent Liz Matory, who also accused Matthews of lacking support from people of color.

Raskin, who has raised a little over $550,000, was assailed by fellow candidate and state Del. Kumar P. Barve for making a campaign contribution to a state Senate colleague who does not share all of his liberal agenda.

I think Jamie Raskin is the first election law prof to run for Congress?  Am I wrong?

UPDATE:  I was wrong.  There was Frank Askin in New Jersey and Barack Obama in Illinois.
