CONWAY — U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas said in a Sun editorial board meeting on Oct. 20 that his priorities are enabling more houses to be built in the valley and the rest of New Hampshire as well as restoring the public’s trust in Washington, D.C.
Pappas, who is seeking a third term in the 1st Congressional District, is locked in a fierce battle with Republican Karoline Leavitt that will be settled at the polls on Nov. 8.
