In response to former Governor Chris Sununu announcing this morning that he will not run for Senate in New Hampshire in 2026, DSCC Communications Director Maeve Coyle issued the following statement:
“Chris Sununu’s decision not to run for Senate is an embarrassing recruitment failure for Republicans as they face a building midterm backlash driven by their threats to Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and their push to spike costs for families. Republicans have not won a Senate race in New Hampshire in more than a decade, and in 2026 Democrats will continue to hold this seat.”
