Do you recognize this kid?
Growing up in Manchester, Chris Pappas attended the city’s public schools, knew his neighbors by name, and learned early what it means to be part of a community.
As a teenager he worked at his family’s restaurant scooping ice cream and eventually helped run the landmark business, serving generations of Granite Staters. When you’re part of a business like that, it’s hard to see where the business stops and the community starts. They’re one and the same, and Chris has carried that spirit with him ever since.
Chris now lives with his husband Vann in the same area he grew up in.
After graduating college he ran for the state legislature to give back to the city that had given him so much, and his neighbors sent him to Concord. A decade later he stepped up to run for and win a seat on the Executive Council.
Years later, when he ran for Congress, people said a Democrat couldn’t hold that district for more than one term. Granite Staters elected him four times in a row in one of the swingiest districts in the country.
In Washington Chris has been an independent-minded Democrat, rated one of the most bipartisan members of the House and willing to work with anyone to help New Hampshire’s families.
Now he’s running for Senate. People doubted Chris before, and grassroots supporters proved them wrong. With just 9 days left in this race, we need to do it one more time.
For Chris this race is personal. He understands the struggles Granite Staters are facing, and he’s ready to go to Washington to fight special interests, protect reproductive freedom, lower costs, take on the big companies pricing people out of their own communities, and build a fairer, freer New Hampshire for everyone.
We are building a strong grassroots team that’s ready to win on November 3rd. Volunteers are knocking doors across the state, and grassroots supporters are stepping up every single day.
But Trump’s allies are flooding the airwaves with millions to stop Chris. We can’t let them outwork us in the final stretch. We need the resources to compete, reach voters in every corner of the state, and make sure Granite Staters hear directly from Chris about what he’ll fight for in the Senate.
New Hampshire means everything to Chris. He’s grounded in the Granite State. He knows what matters because he’s lived it, and he’ll carry the stories of Granite Staters with him to the Senate.
Thanks for being part of this campaign.
