2026 US House Primary
Voting Date:
Democrat
Representative, NH House of Representatives (2023 - present); registered Nurse with a focus on Women's and Maternal Child Health, Mental Health and Health Equity
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."
Representative, U.S. House of Representatives (2025 - present); Deputy Assistant Attorney General, U.S. Department of Justice (2022 - present); Adjunct Professor of Constitutional Law and Administrative Law, UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law (2019 - 2021); Law Clerk to Justice Stephen Breyer (2017 - 2018); Law Clerk to Chief Judge Merrick Garland (2016 - 2017); Senior Advisor to Senator John McCain (2013); Speechwriter & Foreign Policy Advisor to Senator Joseph Lieberman (2009 - 2012)
Maggie Goodlander is a former Deputy Assistant Attorney General and speechwriter for the late Sen. Joe Lieberman. She won her race for the 2nd Congressional District in 2024 and is seeking the seat again in 2026. Goodlander is married to Jake Sullivan, National Security Advisor under President Biden. As a congressperson, she has been active on cost of living issues, launching the bipartisan "Lowering Costs" caucus.
