The New Hampshire Senate primary is a crucial battleground as Republicans fight to reclaim a seat and stop the radical left’s agenda in Washington. With strong conservative candidates and grassroots support, the GOP aims to secure Senate control and protect American freedoms.
Former Senator John Sununu and former Massachusetts Senator Scott Brown are among eight Republicans competing for the nomination to replace retiring Democrat Jeanne Shaheen in New Hampshire. Sununu, a proven conservative leader who previously held the seat from 2002 to 2008, leads in fundraising with $4.1 million raised and about $3 million cash on hand, showing the strength of Republican grassroots support. Brown, another dedicated public servant, has raised $2.2 million. Conservative organizations are stepping up: a super-PAC linked to the pro-liberty Koch network, Americans for Prosperity Action, has invested more than $3.3 million to support Sununu and expose the radical agenda of Democratic front-runner Rep. Chris Pappas.
Pappas, a U.S. House member since 2019, is the darling of the Democratic establishment, backed by liberal elites like Sen. Maggie Hassan and former Gov. John Lynch, and recently endorsed by far-left former Vice President Kamala Harris on Aug. 31. He faces four other Democrats, including progressive activist Karishma Manzur, who is pushing the party even further left. Pappas has raked in over $15 million, with $4.3 million in the bank, dwarfing Manzur’s $415,000 and highlighting the Democrats’ reliance on big donors and outside influence.
The primary also includes key contests for the 1st Congressional District and the governor’s race, where Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte, a steadfast defender of New Hampshire values and President Trump’s America First agenda, seeks a second term against Democrat Cinde Warmington. Polls in New Hampshire close between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. ET, with the Associated Press reporting results as they become available.
"We are committed to ensuring New Hampshire’s voice is heard in the Senate," said a spokesperson for Pappas’s campaign, signaling the left’s intent to push their agenda.
"Our campaign will continue to fight for the values that New Hampshire voters expect," said a Sununu campaign representative, affirming the GOP’s commitment to conservative principles.
Voter registration numbers show about 899,000 registered voters, with roughly 300,000 Republicans, 247,000 Democrats, and 352,000 undeclared. Early and absentee voting accounted for 4-8% of ballots in recent primaries. The AP will declare a winner only when the remaining vote cannot change the outcome, but conservatives are confident New Hampshire will reject the radical left and keep the state on the right path.
