Summary

  • With 87% of votes reported when the race was called around 12:30 a.m., Stefany Shaheen secured New Hampshire Democrats’ 1st District nomination with 37%, edging Maura Sullivan’s 35%.
  • Carleigh Beriont finished third with 22% in the crowded field, capping a tight contest that had narrowed after polls showed Sullivan gaining momentum late.
  • Shaheen quickly pivoted to November, telling supporters Democrats must offer voters more than opposition to President Donald Trump as she prepares to face Republican Anthony DiLorenzo.
