TL;DR

Democrat Bobbi Boudman won New Hampshire’s Carroll County District 7 in a March 10 special election, defeating Republican Dale Fincher by about 52% with roughly 4,000 votes cast. The win flips a seat carried by Trump and marks the 28th Democratic upset since the 2024 election, a pattern DLCC says signals momentum for a broader party wave, even as Republicans retain control of NH’s legislature and governor’s office. Boudman had previously lost to the district’s former GOP representative in prior races.
