Summary
New Hampshire’s Senate District 17 is heating up as incumbent Howard Pearl faces off against challenger Julie Smith in a high-stakes Republican primary. Pearl, a decade-long lawmaker and produce farmer, champions affordable housing and business-friendly policies amid rising home prices. Smith, a retired Comcast worker and first-time candidate, rails against Pearl’s voting record, opposes new taxes, pushes for right-to-work laws, and wants toll payment flexibility. The winner will face Democrat Robert Lawliss in November — a battle between experience and fresh priorities for the district’s voters.
