If you look at the money in politics today, you might wonder, as I do, whether there is any real difference between the parties anymore. Even though I am deeply outraged by what is happening in our country, I had begun to feel that politics was just a stale game played by the same establishment forces. However, hearing Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate Karishma Manzur speak for the first time was enough to get me involved again. When you talk with her, you realize that she listens and cares about what you think.
Karishma Manzur is another Far-Left Fringe candidate that the Democrats are trying to slide into the New Hampshire political universe.
Karishma Manzur is not an independent “people-first” candidate. She is the preferred choice of the activist left’s most radical elements.
As a former board member and active supporter of NH Peace Action, Manzur is deeply tied to a group that organizes “Block the Bombs to Israel” protests, accuses Israel of genocide, pushes BDS-adjacent causes, and partners with CodePink. National Peace Action has endorsed her, as have anti-AIPAC outfits like Track AIPAC and Citizens Against AIPAC Corruption.
These associations explain her platform: ending “blank checks” for Israel, slashing defense spending, and banning AIPAC donations while railing against “war profiteering.”
In stark contrast, Rep. Chris Pappas has a proven record of strong, bipartisan support for Israel’s security — voting for substantial military assistance, reaffirming America’s ironclad commitment after October 7, and backing aid packages while also supporting humanitarian assistance to Gaza and a two-state solution. Pappas accepts support from pro-Israel groups because he understands alliances matter for U.S. national security against threats like Iran and Hamas. Manzur’s fringe allies treat that as corruption.
Domestically, Manzur pushes a full progressive wishlist — Medicare for All, universal childcare, expansive housing programs, and cracking down on “corporate price gouging” — with zero credible funding plan. No detailed tax proposals, no spending offsets, just feel-good promises that would explode deficits or require massive tax hikes on working families. Pappas, by comparison, has worked within realistic bounds: expanding Medicaid access in New Hampshire, protecting rural healthcare, and supporting targeted improvements rather than upending the entire system overnight.
This is classic far-left ideology — reflexive anti-militarism abroad and unaffordable entitlements at home. New Hampshire is too pragmatic for these experiments. Manzur’s far-left associations and fiscal fantasies are a warning, not a credential. Voters should reject this fringe agenda before it reaches the Senate.
