Maggie Goodlander to Face GOP's Williams in NH

Lily Tang Williams, a Republican with a libertarian background who fled communist China, won the GOP primary for New Hampshire's 2nd Congressional District and will face Democrat Maggie Goodlander in the general election. Goodlander, a former DOJ official and wife of national security adviser Jake Sullivan, won the Democratic primary against Colin Van Ostern, who had support from retiring Rep. Annie Kuster. The Democratic primary was marked by intense disputes, particularly over abortion rights, with both candidates launching harsh attacks. The district has leaned blue since 2016, giving Goodlander a statistical edge, according to Decision Desk HQ. The primary results are seen as pivotal, with Democrats aiming to capture the governorship as well, following Republican Governor Chris Sununu's decision not to seek re-election.
