Maggie Goodlander Wins Contentious New Hampshire Democratic Primary

Former DOJ official defeats Colin Van Ostern after a divisive and expensive campaign for the 2nd Congressional District.

Goodlander received support from high-profile figures like Hillary Clinton and EMILY's List.
Van Ostern had the backing of retiring Rep. Annie Kuster and several local leaders.
The race saw unprecedented negative ads and significant outside spending from PACs.
Reproductive rights became a central issue, with both candidates questioning each other's commitments.
Goodlander's victory positions her strongly for the general election in a traditionally Democratic district.
