Rep. Pappas won the swing seat in New Hampshire’s first congressional district in 2018, in what was a “blue wave” year. Mowers closed the gap in what was once a comfortable race for Democrats, Mowers put up a substantial fight. In the final weeks, the GOP challenger managed to erase Rep. Pappas’ advantage in polling averages.
