I commend Lonegan for putting up a good fight, but there wasn’t a chance in hell that he was ever going to win this race. Booker outspent him by a wide margin ... and to be frank about it, if running an smart, ugly conservative with glasses was a recipe for success then Steve Forbes would be serving about his seventh term in Washington in various Federal offices including the White House.
Looks like Lonegan got within 11%. With no national support. He can win this race next year if he gets the support.

That brings up an interesting point: If Steve Lonegan, who is legally blind, was a liberal democrat there would have been an absolute love-fest going on in the media. Probably a documentary about his great courage. Definitely public support from all kinds of groups. But because he’s a conservative, nothing.
