Democrats Flip New Hampshire State House Seat
Bobbi Boudman won Carroll County District 7 by 52-48, marking the 28th Democratic flip since Trump’s election amid debates over education and local roots.
- Tuesday night, Democrat Bobbi Boudman flipped Carroll County District 7 by a 52-48 margin, winning 2,207 votes to Dale Fincher's 2,043 across Ossipee, Tuftonboro and Wolfeboro.
- Having lost here before, the seat opened after Republican Glenn Cordelli resigned last year, prompting the special election.
- Money and local roots shaped the race as Fincher raised $25,000, gained $30,000 from outside groups, and faced House Republicans pouring $70k while running as a write-in after recently moving in.
- The outcome changes the House tally, with the DLCC stating Democrats have flipped 28 seats since Trump's election, and Ken Martin praised Boudman's focus on rising costs and health care.
- The result recalls a 2017 local flip by Democrat Edith DesMarais that foreshadowed 2018 Democratic gains, while some New Hampshire Republicans note President Donald Trump's sub-40 percent approval and past 54-45 district margin.
