Dan Nicholson
Running for: US House NH District 2
Dan Nicholson is a lesser-known candidate for U.S. Representative. On his website he wrote, "In the current Congress, roughly 20 members were both born and raised in foreign countries. While the Constitution allows this, it raises concerns for me about whether every member fully understands the lived experiences, values, and priorities of American communities. I believe New Hampshire deserves representation that is deeply rooted in our state and firmly grounded in the American experience."
