Huff Brown is running for the First Congressional District seat as a Republican, and made the announcement in a campaign ad.

The incumbent District 1 Congressman, Chris Pappas, has filed papers for a third term but has not denied the possibility of switching for a state level position such as governor. Huff Brown blasted Pappas in the ad, saying that Pappas “doesn’t represent our Granite State values.”
Huff Brown has declined to divulge how much money she's raised in her campaign so far.
In her announcement video she said she worries about the current state of immigration, foreign policy, and “cancel culture."
