## Resource

New Hampshire’s big primary on September 8, 2026, is shaping up to be a make-or-break moment for voters and candidates alike—deciding who’ll represent the state in the general election. Undeclared voters can choose a party ballot and officially join it. Polls close at 7 PM, but some stay open until 8 PM—if you’re in line, you still vote. Check your polling place and hours via the secretary of state’s site. Key races include U.S. Senate (with Senator Shaheen retiring), U.S. House District One (now open after Chris Pappas moves to Senate), and District Two where Maggie Goodlander faces primary challenges. Governor Ayotte has little GOP opposition, while Senate hopefuls include Democrats Karishma Manzur and Chris Pappas, and Republicans John Sununu and Scott Brown. This primary could set the tone for national politics—and New Hampshire’s role in it. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
