Democratic power players divided by bitter New Hampshire House primary


The upcoming Democratic primary in New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District to replace retiring six-term Rep. Annie Kuster has become contentious and expensive as former Executive Councilor Colin van Ostern and former DOJ Deputy Assistant AG Maggie Goodlander compete for the nomination. Goodlander, who is married to White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan, has surged in the polls and secured endorsements from EMILY’s List and Hillary Clinton. The candidates have clashed over reproductive rights, with Van Ostern highlighting his work funding Planned Parenthood and Goodlander sharing personal experiences seeking reproductive care. Both have criticized each other for working with Republicans. The race has been marked by high levels of outside spending, with over $3.5 million invested in digital, radio, and TV ads. Goodlander has support from groups like Vote Vets, while Van Ostern has criticized her for accepting super PAC money. The increased tensions in the race led to former Gov. John Lynch switching his endorsement from Van Ostern to Goodlander, citing concerns about the negative tone of Van Ostern’s campaign. The primary in this likely Democratic district is expected to have significant implications for the general election in the fall.
