Republican congressional hopeful Lily Tang Williams has secured victory in New Hampshires GOP primary for the states Second Congressional District, setting the stage for a high-stakes rematch with incumbent Democrat Rep.
Maggie Goodlander.
According to The Post Millennial, with 85 percent of the vote counted as of Wednesday morning, Williams commanded 65.3 percent in the Republican contest, while Goodlander cruised through the Democrat primary with 81.5 percent, based on Associated Press figures. The two previously clashed in 2024, when Goodlander prevailed, but the margin signaled a district increasingly open to a conservative alternative.
In a statement after her win, Williams declared, This victory belongs to Granite Staters who believe the American Dream is worth fighting for. Now we take that fight straight to Maggie Goodlander. She continued her critique of Democrat leadership, adding, Ill work for every Granite Stater as an independent voicenot the extremists driving todays Democrat Party. Maggie Goodlander has had two years in Congress. Now she has to answer for what she hasand hasntaccomplished. Im ready to fight to make New Hampshire affordable again and preserve the American Dream.
Born in China just before Maos Cultural Revolution, Williams is an outspoken critic of communism who immigrated to the United States as an adult and has embraced a platform rooted in limited government and individual liberty. Her campaign priorities include lowering the cost of living, securing the border, putting Americas interests ahead of foreign entanglements, safeguarding Freedom of Speech and the Second Amendment, and imposing congressional term limits.
Williams captured 47 percent of the vote against Goodlander in 2024, a result a campaign press release noted was closer than any Republican has in more than a decade to flipping NH-02. Goodlander, now in her first term, has faced criticism from conservatives for appearing in a November video with other Democrat lawmakers urging military members to refuse illegal orders made by Trump, a group that critics labeled the Seditious Six, underscoring the stark ideological contrast voters will weigh this November.
