US Senate
New Hampshire's U.S. senators are charged with representing the interests of the state's residents as federal laws are made in Congress.
There are two New Hampshire U.S. senators, the same number as every other state in the nation. They are elected to six-year terms. These elections are staggered, with one-third of U.S. senators up for election every two years. This is why New Hampshire's two U.S. senate seats will never be up for election at the same time.
U.S. senators do not have districts within their states, so both of New Hampshire's senators represent the entirety of the Granite State. They serve in Congress in Washington, D.C.

John E. Sununu, a former Republican U.S. Senator and three-term congressman, hopes to win back the Senate seat he once held. First elected to the Senate in 2002 after defeating then-Gov. Jeanne Shaheen, he later lost to her in their 2008 rematch. In launching his 2026 campaign, Sununu said Congress has become “loud, dysfunctional, even angry,” and that he wants to “help calm the waters.” After nearly two decades in the private sector, Sununu is emphasizing civility, fiscal discipline, and practical problem-solving as he seeks to re-enter public service.
