And yet, voters in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District — spanning the eastern half of the state — don’t appear in a rush to make up their minds. Though polling has been scant, one recent survey found that half of voters in both the Republican and Democratic primaries for this seat remain undecided. That’s where I caught up with more voters, at a house party for another Democratic candidate in this race, Stefany Shaheen. It’s a good question, one I suspect a lot of undecided voters are asking themselves right now. New Hampshire State Rep. Heath Howard, who is running for Congress, speaks with voters during Rochester Pride on Aug. 1, 2026.
