Democrats Flip GOP Seat in New Hampshire, Tenth Straight Special Election Victory
In a special election for Carroll County’s 7th District, New Hampshire Democrat Bobbi Boudman successfully flipped a Republican-held seat on Tuesday night. Boudman, a financial analyst, narrowly defeated Republican Dale Fincher by a 52-48 margin, overcoming previous losses to the incumbent and a district that voted Republican in the last presidential election. Despite significant Republican investment in Fincher’s campaign, Boudman’s victory, largely self-funded and supported by her deep community ties, signals a potential shift for Democrats heading into the November general election. This win narrows the Republican majority in the state House, highlighting Democrats’ opportunity to gain further ground.
