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. A sleazy Democrat, Pappas reportedly lied about his relationship with a corporate lobbyist,[1] having refused to disclose the information.[2]
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
Pappas has been criticized[7] for supporting anti-police measures,[8] which trial lawyers donated to his campaign for.[9]
2020 election
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,[10] 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"[11] 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.[12] While Cook Political Report considers the race to be "Likely Democrat",[13] 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.[14]
