Democrats had cause for optimism from the results of two contested special elections for state legislative seats Tuesday. In New Hampshire, Democrats flipped a state House seat and pulled just a little bit closer to taking a narrow majority.
The Democratic National Committee highlighted that result Wednesday, arguing it “builds on a consistent pattern of Democratic candidates outperforming partisan leans in 2023 special elections following the historic 2022 midterm performance by Democrats.”
Hal Rafter, a Democrat, came out ahead of Republican James Guzofski, as WMUR reports.
