Statement from Congressman Chris Pappas in Response to Trump-Influenced GOP Redistricting Push in New Hampshire

MANCHESTER, NH — In response to legislation proposed by State Senator Dan Innis to gerrymander New Hampshire’s congressional districts in favor of Republicans ahead of the midterm election, Congressman Chris Pappas released the following statement: 

“We are witnessing a blatant attempt by Donald Trump and Republicans across the country to rig the 2026 midterm election. This stunt may help Dan Innis win points with Donald Trump, but Granite Staters will see it for what it is: a desperate attempt to cling to power in the face of growing backlash to the Trump agenda which is raising costs on families, hurting small businesses, and attacking Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security — all while billionaires and big corporations get tax breaks. I hope the Governor and legislature will reject this transparent power grab and commit to upholding fair districts and the integrity of New Hampshire’s elections.”
