Democrat Maggie Goodlander, a former senior White House aide with deep political connections, is running for Congress in her home state of New Hampshire. In a campaign announcement Thursday, May 9, 2024, she said she's running to take on bullies like right wing judges, extreme politicians and big corporations.
“Right wing judges, extreme politicians, big corporations all have too much power,” she said in a campaign announcement video released Thursday. “I’m ready to take these bullies on. That’s why I’m running for Congress.” The video features Goodlander’s mother, Betty Tamposi, who lost the GOP primary for the seat in 1988.
Goodlander, who was born on Election Day in 1986 after her parents stopped to vote en route to the hospital, described her own efforts to start a family. She said that she lost a baby last year nearly 20 weeks into her pregnancy and that the experience strengthened her resolve to fight for reproductive rights.
The White House confirmed Thursday that Goodlander is no longer an employee there. Her husband, Sullivan, will abide by the federal law banning government employees from using their jobs for political purposes, said a White House official, who was not authorized to speak on the record and insisted on anonymity., a former member of the governor’s Executive Council, and state Sen. Becky Whitley.
