We're winning so much, we'll get tired of winning!
By Susie Madrak — March 13, 2026

Another Democrat has flipped a Republican seat, this time in the New Hampshire House of Representatives, deep in the heart of Trump country.

Bobbi Boudman defeated Dale Fincher in a special election after the Republican holding the seat moved out of the district on Tuesday. It was her third try for the seat.

Boudman won roughly 52 percent of the vote, with 48 percent going to the Republican. More than 4,000 people cast a ballot in the district, in rural Carroll County near the border with Maine.

Trump won the area in 2024, running up double-digit margins in some towns.

According to the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, the party has now flipped 28 seats nationwide since Trump won back the White House in 2024.

HUGE: Democrat Bobbi Boudman won the special election for New Hampshire State House Carroll County District 7, FLIPPING a seat the GOP had previously won by 13 points.

Congratulations, Rep-elect Boudman!
