Voters in New Hampshire will head to the polls on Tuesday to decide a range of high‑profile races that could affect control of Congress and the state house.
The Senate contest features Democrat Chris Pappas, a centrist U.S. representative, against Republican former governor John E. Sununu; both campaigns center on affordability, with Pappas linking inflation to Trump‑era policies and Sununu promoting market‑based reforms and distancing himself from the president.
Governor Kelly Ayotte seeks a second term against former executive councilor Cinde Warmington, who attacks Ayotte’s budget cuts, expansion of the Education Freedom Account, and opposition to marijuana legalization while both candidates now call for a moratorium on new data centers.
In New Hampshire’s 1st congressional district, former city councilor Stefany Shaheen, daughter of senator Jeanne Shaheen, runs against car dealer Anthony DiLorenzo, who supports retaining Trump’s 2017 tax cuts and restricting transgender access to women’s facilities, and each candidate faces accusations about financial transparency and voter perceptions.
The 2nd district race pits incumbent Democrat Maggie Goodlander, who highlights her support for a major bipartisan housing bill and opposition to Trump tariffs, against Republican Lily Tang Williams, who advocates congressional term limits, a balanced‑budget amendment and has been linked to past controversial statements.
Polling locations open at different times across municipalities, and voters can locate their precinct and ballot via the Secretary of State’s website, with same‑day registration permitted using a government‑issued ID and proof of citizenship and domicile.
