CONWAY — A congressional hopeful and former White House staffer, who said President Donald Trump used to affectionately refer to her to as “one of his kids,” made her first appearance as a candidate Monday at the home of the Mount Washington Valley Republican Committee Chairman Steven Steiner.

Karoline Leavitt, 23, of Hampton said she filled out the paperwork to jump into the 2022 race just before heading to Steiner’s Center Conway home, where she spoke to a crowd of about 50 people. She is hoping to unseat Congressman Chris Pappas (D-N.H.) next year.

Good! Send Pappas home. In fact make him walk home ALL the way home as another failed politician. The last kind of people we need in government is anyone like him.
