Vice President Kamala D. Harris Endorses Congressman Chris Pappas for U.S. Senate

MANCHESTER, N.H. — Today, Vice President Kamala D. Harris endorsed Congressman Chris Pappas for New Hampshire’s open U.S. Senate seat. Harris is the highest-ranking woman ever elected to public office in U.S. history, and she ran a historic campaign for President centered on expanding economic opportunity for Americans, fighting for equal rights, and standing up for democracy. 

“Congressman Chris Pappas is the fighter New Hampshire needs to take on rising costs, rampant corruption in Washington, and a feckless administration in order to deliver for the people,” said Vice President Kamala D. Harris. “Chris knows how to get things done, and he knows that means working with anyone — or taking on anyone — to make life better for his fellow Granite Staters. He’ll bring that same commonsense, independent leadership to the U.S. Senate, and I’m proud to endorse him in this race.”

“Under Vice President Harris’s leadership, Congress passed landmark bipartisan legislation that changed lives across the country, from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to the CHIPS and Science Act and the Inflation Reduction Act,” said Congressman Chris Pappas. “Vice President Harris has been one of the strongest voices fighting to protect our democracy and build an economy where everyone has a fair shot. She understands that the stakes couldn’t be higher here in New Hampshire, and I’m honored to have her support in this race.”

With 64 days until the general election, Congressman Chris Pappas’s campaign for U.S. Senate is building momentum and bringing together a broad coalition of leaders and organizations from across New Hampshire and the country, including labor unions across the Granite State, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Reproductive Freedom for All, the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund, the Human Rights Campaign, Equality PAC, and End Citizens United. Pappas has earned the support of leading voices fighting for working families, reproductive freedom, LGBTQ+ equality, a strong democracy, and environmental protection. This coalition reflects the broad and deep foundation of support behind Pappas in one of the most competitive and consequential races in the country — and demonstrates the shared belief that Pappas is the fighter New Hampshire needs in the U.S. Senate.
