Former U.S. Sen. Scott Brown Enters Race for Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s Seat
MANCHESTER, N.H. — The race for the Senate seat currently held by Jeanne Shaheen is intensifying with the announcement that former Republican U.S. Senator Scott Brown is officially entering the fray. News 9 reported Brown’s intentions, setting the stage for a potential showdown with Democratic U.S. Representative Chris Pappas.
“I’m kind of fed up with the federal delegation,” Brown stated as he launched his campaign. The ex-senator from Massachusetts and former ambassador to New Zealand expressed his desire to regain political office, saying, “I want to earn the people of New Hampshire’s votes.”
Political analysts had anticipated Brown’s candidacy, highlighting his capacity to raise funds and engage effectively with various constituencies. Neil Levesque from the New Hampshire Institute of Politics remarked, "He’ll be able to raise money and attract attention."
Despite a past defeat against Shaheen in 2014, Brown is now focusing his sights on Pappas, accusing him of undermining New Hampshire’s advantages. In response, Pappas claimed that Brown would align himself closely with Donald Trump, stating, “I think that Scott Brown is going to continue to be with Donald Trump 100% of the time.”
The Democratic Party has also ramped up criticism. New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley quipped, “If there’s a way of kissing Donald Trump’s rump enough to get that endorsement, Scott Brown will find a way.”
Political dynamics may shift as analysts warn that established candidates like Brown and Pappas could face challenges from grassroots contenders energized by recent political developments. Adding to Pappas’ support, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren recently endorsed him, a strategic move given her past victory over Brown in Massachusetts.
As the campaign unfolds, candidates will likely navigate a highly charged and competitive landscape.
