Race coverage

An open Democratic-held seat. The September 8 primaries set the matchup: Chris Pappas, the four-term congressman for the state's first district, against John Sununu, who held this seat from 2003 to 2009. Below: letters to the editor from the New Hampshire and national press that name a candidate in this race, since collection began in May 2026. A name anywhere in the text counts, so a piece need not be about the race. Pages that are not articles are left out.
