Ugh. Praying for Pappas here. Messmer is my favorite out of all of these candidates, but if I was in NH-01, I'd definitely be voting for Pappas just to stop Sullivan, who's just plain awful.

So another Dem military vet in the race is attacking Sullivan accusing her of stolen valor.

Strangely enough, Moulton decided to intervene.

How so?

That’s a pretty gross attack on her service. He’s saying that because she was a woman serving before women were allowed in ground combat roles, she shouldn’t say that she experienced combat, even though several other women in her division were killed in combat.

I have a lot of respect for Moulton, but the dude's AOC levels of full of himself.

Maura Sullivan not only planned to run in NH-1 from the get-go, but planned to primary Shea-Porter because it was "an easy shot".

As much as I like Messmer, I'm on board with Pappas now. We need to stop Maura Sullivan at all costs.

We can only hope negative news like this brings down Sullivan. I'm cautiously optimistic that more people in NH-01 share your attitude toward her.
