Mowers, the former New Hampshire Republican chairman, was the GOP nominee in 2020 and lost to Pappas.<\/p>\n<p>Pappas has held the seat since 2018 and won 51 percent of the vote last time. The district has shown a pattern: Republicans flipped the seat during each of the two midterm elections during Barack Obama\u2019s presidency. Political forecasters rate the seat a toss-up and one to watch nationally as the Republicans seek to gain control of the House of Representatives.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/rep-chris-pappas-1200x800-1.jpg\"><\/a> Rep.
