Paige Beauchemin
Running for: US House NH District 2
Paige Beauchemin is a state representative challenging incumbent Goodlander from the left. She told WMUR, "I like to think of it as me running for Congress as opposed to running against someone. But of course, that's the reality. What I would say is, you know, regardless of how we feel about millionaires, only 2% of Congress are working people. And I think the millionaires are well-represented already. I think it's time for working-class people to be represented."

At a 2026 WMUR debate Rep. Beauchemin said, "As a member of the queer community myself, rights for trans folks, rights for trans youth is very important to me. I sit on the board of the Progressive Caucus at the Statehouse, and I do not bend on human rights. At the same time, I've said over and over again that I will not be distracted by these wedge issue culture wars that have been fabricated by the wealthiest people in our country so that we're fighting with each other about immigrants and trans people instead of talking to each other so that we can come together and build something so that we can fight against the folks who are actually exploiting us."

When asked about legalizing marijuana at the federal level at a debate, Rep. Beauchemin said, "Yes. It's stilly that we haven't. It is all because of special interests. I think it's silly that we allow alcohol, and yet we don't allow cannabis. But we need to make sure that we're implementing it in a way that small businesses are able to run those businesses as opposed to large corporations kind of buying up businesses from the folks who have been on the other end of the criminal justice system."
