Democrat Maggie Goodlander has emerged victorious in the election for a U.S. House seat from New Hampshire, successfully retaining the position for her party. She will take over from the incumbent Democratic Representative Annie Kuster, who is stepping down after six terms in the House of Representatives.

Goodlander has a notable background as a former senior aide in the White House, and she is married to Jake Sullivan, who serves as President Joe Biden’s national security adviser. In this election, she faced off against Republican Lily Tang Williams, who previously contested for the same seat in 2022 but placed third in the Republican primary during that election cycle.

The announcement of Goodlander’s victory was made by election officials at 1:07 a.m. EST, confirming her win as a significant achievement for the Democratic Party in the state.
