For NH-1, former NHGOP executive director/State Department official Matt Mowers (R-Bedford) has decided to jump in. Guy was fairly close to Tillerson, and actually got his start in Christie's NJ office. Generally seems to be running as your average Republican.

He faces state rep William Fowler (R-Seabrook), and is likely to face former city councilman/NHGOP vice chair Matt Mayberry (R-Dover) in the primary.

Is there a reason why this guy is notable enough to have his own thread instead of in the general Congressional thread?

There isn't much news coming out of NH-2. It's looking like a rerun of 2018, with Kuster running against one of Lynne Blankenbeker (right-wing loon) or Steve Negron (who's fresh off of a 13-point loss).

Jersey Boy won his primary.

The campaign has now become virulently homophobic. Mowers essentially alleged that Pappas was sleeping with an Amazon lobbyist for votes. In reality, he's in a committed relationship with someone who used to lobby for them and the one "pro-Amazon" vote cited was an immigration bill.

Cannot wait for Pappas to end this homophobic piece of ****'s career.
