Chris Pappas, a Democratic Congressman and the first openly gay representative from New Hampshire, has launched his campaign for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Jeanne Shaheen. He stresses the need for a senator who prioritizes New Hampshire's interests and addresses issues like economic inequality and the influence of special interests in politics. Pappas reflects on his roots in the state and his experience managing a family restaurant. He promises to combat self-serving billionaires and extreme politicians, maintaining that his constituents deserve better representation and protection of their rights.
"I'm running for Senate because our economy, our democracy, and our way of life are on the line, and New Hampshire deserves a senator who is grounded in the people, places, and values of this state."
"There are special interests and big corporations that have an outsized influence in our political system," he continued. His constituents feel the system is rigged against them.
"Like Sen. Shaheen, I'll always put New Hampshire first," he said. "You can count on me to lead the charge to confront this administration, self-dealing billionaires, and extreme politicians who threaten our future and our ability to get things done for New Hampshire."
He emphasized his New Hampshire roots and experience running his family's restaurant in Manchester, the state's largest city.
