Rep. Chris Pappas is entering the race for New Hampshire’s open Senate seat.
The fourth-term congressman is the first high-profile candidate to launch a campaign to succeed Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a fellow Democrat who is retiring after three terms.
“I’m running for Senate because our economy, our democracy, and our way of life are on the line, and New Hampshire deserves a Senator who is grounded in the people, places, and values of this state,” Pappas said in a statement. “You can count on me to lead the charge to confront this administration, self-dealing billionaires, and extreme politicians who threaten our future and our ability to get things done for New Hampshire.”
