Pennington’s record

Pennington’s entry establishes his Democratic affiliation and candidacy for the U.S. House in New Hampshire’s 2nd District. It does not identify a professional, educational or public-service background. It also does not document positions on any policy issue.

The absence of documented positions means Pennington cannot yet be compared with the other candidates on specific issues through the official race record. The same is true for each of the other eight candidates, none of whom has a documented policy position on file.

Campaign finance and election date

No campaign finance totals are on file for Pennington or any other candidate in the race. That includes funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand. Those categories therefore do not yet offer a financial comparison among the nine campaigns.

The scheduled general election date is Nov. 3, 2026. Changes to the candidate roster, campaign finance entries and documented policy positions would add more information for voters before that date.
