NH-SEN: Former GOP Sen. Scott Brown of Massachusetts will seek New Hampshire seat
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Scott Brown, a Republican who once represented Massachusetts in the U.S. Senate, announced his second bid Wednesday for the New Hampshire Senate seat being vacated by Democrat Jeanne Shaheen next year.
Brown, 65, was born at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and moved to Massachusetts as a toddler. After several terms in the state Legislature, he won a special election in 2010 for the U.S. Senate seat that had been held for decades by Edward Kennedy.
He lost to Democrat Elizabeth Warren in 2012. He then moved to New Hampshire, where he unsuccessfully challenged Shaheen for the Senate in 2014. Shaheen, now serving her third term in the Senate, announced in March she would not seek reelection in 2026.
Brown also served as U.S. ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa during President Donald Trump’s first administration and briefly as dean of New England Law in Boston.
