Rep. Maggie Goodlander, D-N.H., wife of former Biden National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, has easily secured her party’s nomination in a Democrat-leaning New Hampshire congressional district, setting the stage for a November showdown. Goodlander, who won her first term in 2024, is now poised to defend a seat that has been held by Democrats since 2013. Her primary victory came against State Rep. Paige Beauchemin, who challenged Goodlander from the left, arguing the incumbent had not been sufficiently progressive. Goodlander’s husband, Jake Sullivan, played a prominent role in the Biden administration, particularly during the Afghanistan withdrawal and in managing foreign relations concerning the Russia-Ukraine War and U.S.-China ties. Goodlander will face Lily Tang Williams, the winner of the Republican primary, in a race that will shape the political landscape of New Hampshire, especially with neighboring Rep. Chris Pappas vacating his seat to run for the Senate.
