CONWAY — The Republican U.S. House and Senate races are the only competitive federal delegation races. The winners will likely take on incumbent Democrats U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas and Sen. Maggie Hassan.
In the Senate race, Hassan was considered vulnerable until Republican Gov. Chris Sununu, the darling of the moderate wing of the Republicans, decided not to take her on and instead seek another term in Concord.Â
