Chris Calhoun

Chris Calhoun is a family physician and U.S. Navy veteran from Goffstown running this fall to flip a seat in the New Hampshire House. Over the last 25 years, Chris has consistently been there for thousands of his neighbors, listening to them, advocating for their health, and working with them one-on-one to solve problems. If elected, Chris is committed to representing his community with the same care and attention he gives his patients. He understands the needs of working families and will fight for them by advocating for access to affordable housing, strong public education, and responsible fiscal policies that lower the cost of living in New Hampshire.

In 2024, Republicans eked out a win in all four seats in Hillsborough by less than 100 votes. Now, Chris, with the DLCC’s support, is well-positioned to flip one of the district’s 4 seats and help build Democratic power in the New Hampshire House.

2026 is a historic opportunity to flip both chambers of the New Hampshire legislature.

Current GOP House and Senate majorities in New Hampshire have used their power to green-light Trump’s disastrous agenda at the state level, pushing attacks on civil liberties and voting rights, gutting public school funding, and turning a blind eye to the affordability crisis squeezing working families from all sides.

Over the last several cycles, the DLCC has helped New Hampshire Democrats win key races and keep majorities within striking distance in 2026. As we approach Election Day, Democrats need a 5-seat gain to win the majority in the state Senate, and a roughly 23-seat gain to win a majority in the 400-seat state House. 

Flipping both chambers would create a powerful firewall protecting Granite Staters from the most harmful aspects of MAGA extremism. With every seat in both legislative chambers on the ballot this year, now is the time to rally behind the most competitive Democratic candidates and send a blue wave across New Hampshire.
