NH Sen. Innis Backs Potential Sununu Senate Run

News summary

Republican State Sen. Dan Innis has suspended his 2026 U.S. Senate campaign and endorsed former U.S. Sen. John E. Sununu, saying Sununu is best positioned to beat Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas. Innis urged fellow Republican Scott Brown to clear the field to avoid a bruising primary, but Brown rejected those calls, citing strong fundraising and endorsements and saying he will remain in the race. Sununu has said he is considering a return to the Senate but has not launched a campaign; Innis said he would reactivate his bid if Sununu declines and will refocus on his state Senate reelection in the meantime. The move highlights Sununu’s political pedigree—he previously served in the Senate and is the brother of former New Hampshire governor Chris Sununu—and sharpens an already competitive general-election map. On the Democratic side, Rep. Chris Pappas and Karishma Manzur are seeking the nomination, suggesting a contested 2026 race.
