Republicans in the New Hampshire House are considering a redistricting proposal that would make the state’s First Congressional District – which has toggled between the parties but is now held by Democrat Rep. Chris Pappas — significantly more Republican.
Some Republican leaders have been blunt in expressing their ambition to make that congressional district, which covers much of the eastern part of the state, friendlier terrain for Republican candidates. State GOP Chairman Steve Stepanek has gone so far as to say the district should be “guaranteed” to elect a Republican.
Gov. Chris Sununu, meanwhile, has promised to veto any congressional map that doesn’t pass what he’s called the “smell test.”
This new map, which the House Redistricting Committee is expected to discuss Thursday, proposes shrinking the First Congressional District geographically. Under the plan, the district would run from the towns of Hudson to Seabrook across the state’s southern border, before heading northwest to across the Lakes Region. It would lose a long slice along the state's eastern border, including several Democratic-friendly communities near the Maine border.
