Exeter NH Democrats

#nhpolitics

In a major upset, the House Democrats win the special election with rep-elect Bobbi Boudman winning this solid red district in Carroll County. Granite staters are fed up with Concord and Washington and are showing up. Get ready, November is right around the corner! #nhpolitics

This is great news for the NH Dems and a clear message for NH GOP - We don’t want your MAGA agenda anywhere in New Hampshire. Make sure to vote blue up and down the ballot in every local, state and federal election. #NHpolitics

Just got word that Bobbi Boudman won her special election in Carroll District 7, flipping a seat previously held by the book ban Representative Cordelli! Huge upset from 2024, which the Republican won with 57% last time. Bobbi won with 52% despite being outspent 6 to 1! #NHPolitics #NewHampshire

Yesterday, the NH House passed the resolution I sponsored to honor Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman.

“By passing this bipartisan resolution today, we honor her life. We mourn her loss. And we affirm that in NH, we reject political violence and choose a better path.”

“The New Hampshire Department of Justice is aware of the reported social media post involving the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire and former Executive Councilor Andru Volinsky,” agency spokesman Michael Garrity told NHPR. https://bit.ly/40NW0HC
