I suppose that is possible, but I highly doubt it. I expect that he is soundly in 5th or worse at this stage. I don't say that out of malice or anything like that either. I just think that the average voter (which is really what matters here) has no idea who the guy is. People who follow politics might be extremely unimpressed with Higgins but there is a reason she polls so well. I had a woman tell me that she wasn't voting for me because she is voting for Barb Higgins! Pretty clearly with that kind of voter being relatively commonplace expecting that 20% of the voters know who Naheed is would be a minor miracle, never mind voting for him.

No offense as you're working on Hehr's campaign, but based on my observations I don't see the bolded point being much of a stretch to believe.
