DNC Chair Tom Perez released the following statement after New Hampshire voters elected Democrat Kari Lerner in New Hampshire’s special election in Rockingham District 4, the fourth-most Republican district in the state and one Trump won by 23 points in November:
“Congratulations to Kari Lerner on her remarkable victory tonight. This is the eighth seat Democrats have flipped this year — and it's no coincidence. In New Hampshire and across the country, the American people are rejecting Donald Trump’s agenda and electing Democrats up and down the ballot. Representative-elect Lerner’s victory is further proof that when Democrats lead with our values, we can compete and win in any zip code. And I know she will stand up for those values and fight for working families across the Granite State.”
