Ed Markey, the Democratic incumbent, has a high-profile challenger in Rep. Seth Moulton. While the state is heavily Democratic, Republicans have at least one candidate in John Deaton.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, the Democratic incumbent, is not seeking re-election, leaving the seat open. Rep. Chris Pappas has emerged as the Democratic front-runner, while John E. Sununu has the benefit of strong statewide name recognition on the Republican side.
