REGION — The results of the November 8, 2022, midterm elections are in, and statewide New Hampshire residents won’t be seeing many changes.
In the race for Governor, Chris Sununu defeated his Democratic foe, Tom Sherman, to maintain his position. He has held the title since 2016, making this his fourth term. In the Eagle Times’ coverage area, he took wins in every town except New London.
Speaking of New London, the college town was the only one in the area to vote exclusively for Democratic candidates. On the flip side, Lempster and Newport stand as the two towns who elected Republicans up and down the ballot.
New Hampshire’s incumbent Democratic Senator Maggie Hassan defeated her Republican challenger, retired Army General, and 2020 election conspiracy theorist, Donald Bolduc. On the local level, Hassan took six of nine area towns, with Bolduc stood strong in Charlestown, Lempster, and Newport.
Democratic candidate Chris Pappas kept his House of Representatives seat in his election against the 25-year-old Republican challenger, Karoline Leavitt. This election took place in New Hampshire House District One.
In House District Two, the liberal incumbent Annie Kuster defeated her conservative challenger Robert Burns to keep her seat at the House of Representatives. Out of nine towns, Kuster won six, while Burns took two. They fought to a split-decision in Charlestown.
Following are the winners of each contested seat per town. Those with no totals next to their name ran unopposed.
