Stefany Shaheen wins Democratic nomination for U.S. House in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District
Shaheen, the daughter of retiring U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, won after raising nearly $740,000 from donors who had given to her mother, analysts said.
- Stefany Shaheen won the Democratic primary for New Hampshire's 1st Congressional District on Tuesday, narrowly defeating Maura Sullivan with 37% to 35% of the vote. She advances to face Republican Anthony DiLorenzo in the Nov. 3 general election.
- The Democratic primary grew acrimonious as rivals criticized Shaheen's reliance on retiring U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen's donor network, with Sullivan's campaign labeling her a "nepo baby." Sullivan, an Iraq War veteran, capitalized on this tension to narrow the polling gap significantly.
- Republican businessman Anthony DiLorenzo secured his party's nomination with around 51% of the vote, leveraging a $1.6 million self-funded campaign. President Donald Trump endorsed DiLorenzo in July, calling him a successful entrepreneur who will champion an economic "Golden Age."
- Incumbent U.S. Rep. Maggie Goodlander and Republican Lily Tang Williams both secured victories in the 2nd Congressional District primaries on Tuesday, setting up a rematch of their 2024 general election contest. Both candidates advanced decisively, confirming a return to head-to-head competition.
- Primary elections shaped the ballot for Congress, governor, and the 424-seat state Legislature across New Hampshire. With nominations finalized, candidates shift attention to the Nov. 3 general election as both parties vie for control of key seats.
