Former Biden administration senior official and wife of national security adviser, Maggie Goodlander, is considering a bid for Congress in her home state of New Hampshire. Goodlander, a Yale graduate and former top lawyer in the Biden administration, is expected to announce her candidacy for the open seat in New Hampshire’s Second Congressional District.
The race to succeed longtime Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster has already attracted a number of candidates, but Goodlander’s potential entry into the race could shake things up. With her ties to prominent political figures and her bipartisan record, Goodlander brings a unique dynamic to the race.
While Goodlander may face scrutiny over her ties to Republicans and her residency, her background as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve and her work as an adviser to senators Joe Lieberman and John McCain could appeal to voters.
Goodlander’s potential candidacy has the potential to draw national attention to the New Hampshire race and could lead to high-profile endorsements. As the race heats up, all eyes will be on Goodlander and her decision to enter the political arena.
