Rep. Chris Pappas, a three-term congressman from New Hampshire, is seeking a Senate seat this November. He will face either John Sununu or Scott Brown, both former senators running for the Republican nomination.
Pappas’ Senate Bid
Pappas discussed his Senate bid, focusing on his opponent John Sununu. Pappas stated, ‘I’m ready to take on an opponent with a famous political name who, frankly, is a relic of New Hampshire’s political past.’
New Hampshire has a unique political environment, with its entire Congressional delegation being Democratic, while the Governor and State House have Republican majorities. Pappas described the state as ‘very purple,’ with a plurality of independent voters who are suspicious of both parties.
Pappas also weighed in on the future of the Democratic Party, suggesting that there needs to be turnover in leadership, including the potential replacement of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Pappas plans to campaign extensively throughout the state, aiming to convince voters that he should be sent to the Senate.
