Christopher Charles “Chris” Pappas (born June 4, 1980 (age 46)) is a businessman currently serving as the U.S. representative for New Hampshire's 1st congressional district.

Pappas is openly gay.^[3]

U.S. House of Representatives

2018 election

After Carol Shea-Porter announced in 2017 that she would not seek re-election in the 2018 Midterms,^[4] Pappas announced his run for the House seat.^[5] He won the general election over Republican opponent Eddie Edwards by nearly nine points.^[6]

Tenure

Rep. Pappas supported^[7]^[8] and voted in favor of the impeachment coup against Donald Trump.^[9]

Pappas has been criticized^[10] for supporting anti-police measures,^[11] which trial lawyers donated to his campaign for.^[12]

His 2020 Republican opponent has noted him to be a partisan puppet for Nancy Pelosi;^[13] according to ProPublica, Pappas has voted with Pelosi 99% of the time in the 116th Congress.^[14]

2020 election

See: United States House of Representatives elections, 2020

Pappas is facing a tough re-election fight, being challenged by Republican Matt Mowers in the general election. At a debate between the two candidates, Mowers pointed out the representative's relationship with a lobbyist,^[15] to which Pappas falsely claimed^[1] wasn't true. Groups advocating for the homosexual agenda later claimed that Mower's charges were "homophobic dog whistles"^[16] despite Pappas being openly gay having nothing to do with the matter.

A poll in late October 2020 found Pappas trailing Mowers by two points.^[17] While Cook Political Report considers the race to be "Likely Democrat",^[18] the race may become very close, since the congressional district was won by Donald Trump in the 2016 U.S. presidential election by two points.^[19]
