NH-02: In race for Congress, Williams (R) and Goodlander (D) campaign for -- and against -- Washington

Throughout this race, Goodlander’s mostly played offense. Her D.C. resume, her connections in her hometown of Nashua, the big money she’s collected from national donors, and her capacity to appeal to voters spanning the Democratic electorate here: All of it helped Goodlander run up a nearly 2-to-1 win over former Executive Councilor Colin Van Ostern in the Democratic primary. As she looks to November, Goodlander is focused on beating Williams.

“Fairness is on the line: I’m running against an opponent who would end Social Security as we know it, would gut Medicare, would embrace Project 2025 in all of its extremism,” Goodlander said in Nashua last week.

U.S. Senator Michael Bennet of Colorado joined Goodlander in Nashua to rally volunteers to knock doors for Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic ticket. Bennet said he’s known Goodlander for more than a decade, from her days as a congressional staffer, and told volunteers she “had learned from the best” during her time in Washington.
