Manchester’s ABC affiliate reports:

Rep. Chris Pappas is running for U.S. Senate. The four-term congressman is announcing his campaign this morning with a video on social media, highlighting his Manchester roots, business background and record on Capitol Hill.

“I think people, regardless of their politics, have a sense that the system is not working, that there are special interests and big corporations that have outsized influence in our political system,” Pappas said.

Pappas’ name was among the first to emerge as a possible candidate after Sen. Jeanne Shaheen announced she would not seek re-election in 2026.

Read the full article. Pappas married his husband, Vann Bentley, in 2023 and owns a New Hampshire restaurant known as a regular stop for presidential candidates.

I’m in.

Today I’m announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate because New Hampshire needs a fighter who gets things done.
