Former Massachusetts Sen. Scott P. Brown announced Wednesday that he is making another bid for the Senate from New Hampshire next year.
Brown is the first high-profile Republican to enter the race for the seat being vacated by retiring Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, who defeated him when he sought the seat in 2014. Democrats have coalesced around Rep. Chris Pappas for the seat, whom Brown went after in a video launching his campaign.
“In Washington, we haven’t been represented by the right people,” the former senator said. “For four years, Chris Pappas has stood with Joe Biden as he opened the border, drove up the cost of everything and made life just simply unaffordable.”
