Federal Election Commission filings show a clear split in Republican fundraising strength across New Hampshire’s 2026 federal races. Former U.S. Senator Scott Brown (R-Rye) and congressional candidate Lily Tang Williams (R-Weare) are raising serious money, while the First District field continues to underperform.

Sixty-four current and former Republican state legislators have formally endorsed Lily Tang Williams (R-Weare) in her campaign for New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District, giving the Weare Republican a significant boost of grassroots and institutional support heading into 2026.

Lily Tang Williams (R-Weare), the current frontrunner in New Hampshire’s Second Congressional District Republican primary, is calling out Democrats in Washington for what she describes as political gamesmanship during the ongoing government shutdown — and warning New Hampshire voters to stay vigilant about Chinese influence in the state.
