E76: Merrimack 5, with Thomas Ware
from The Steve Marchand Podcast Hosted by Steve Marchand
In the week leading up to the 2026 midterm elections, Steve hosted 30+ conversations with NH House candidates in many of the most competitive, interesting House districts in the state. Control of the House is on the line, and one of the best ways to understand what is going on in state and national politics is by putting your ear to the ground, at the local and House district level. That's what this series is all about. In this episode, the focus is on the Merrimack 5 House District, and Democratic candidate Thomas Ware. It's a two-seat district (currently both Republicans), made up of the five towns of Andover, Webster, Salisbury, Danbury, and Hill. It's a largely rural area northwest of Concord. Steve has it at about an R+6.5 entering 2026, but as recently as 2022, this same district was a nailbiter. Thomas has lived in the community for 18 years, raising a young family, being deeply involved in Andover's recreation and youth programming, and working in a leadership role in a non-profit human services agency. #nhpolitics
