New Hampshire Midterm Election Results Bring Statewide and National Stakes to the Ballot
Granite Staters turned out to the polls on Tuesday for the midterm elections, facing a slate of consequential matchups for governor, the U.S. Senate, and the U.S. House of Representatives, mynbc5.com reported. With control of critical federal and state offices hanging in the balance, voters filtered into precincts across New Hampshire to decide races that carry weight far beyond the state’s borders.
The race for the governor’s office features incumbent Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) running for a second term against Cindy Warmington (D-NH), a former New Hampshire Executive Council member, according to mynbc5.com. Meanwhile, voters are also deciding who will succeed Jean Shaheen, a Democrat who announced last year that she would not be running for reelection. The Senate contest pits Republican John Sununu against Democrat Chris Pappas.
Further down the federal ballot, the U.S. House District 2 race pits incumbent Maggie Goodlander (D-NH) against Republican challenger Lily Tang Williams (R-NH) as Goodlander looks to secure a second term in office, mynbc5.com reported.
