Granite State residents woke up this morning to Democrats winning across the board.

Democrats claimed victories in the state House, Senate and Executive Council, and while some races were still too close to call on Wednesday morning, in the eyes of Hancock resident David Lucker, things were looking good.

“We’re all smiling,” Lucker said as he walked his dog in Peterborough’s Depot Square. “I’m very proud of what America did across the country.”

New Hampshire mirrored national results, with Democrats sweeping the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, gaining a majority in Congress. New Hampshire will send Chris Pappas to join Sen. Maggie Hassan in Washington, along with Reps. Stefany Shaheen and Maggie Goodlander.

In the Monadnock area alone, multiple state Senate seats appeared poised to flip as of Wednesday morning. These included Matthew McLaughlin’s seven-point lead over Sen. Denise Ricciardi, with 94% of votes counted; Carryl Roy’s three-point lead over Sen. Kevin Avard, with 96% of votes counted; and Shannon Chandley’s 16-point lead over Sen. Tim McGough, with 82% of votes counted.

In District 8, the seat soon to be vacated by Sen. Ruth Ward, Republican Jim Creighton and Democrat David Trumble were nearly deadlocked. Creighton led Trumble by 1.6 percentage points, with 76% of the votes counted as of Wednesday morning, according to the AP.

While eating breakfast at the Peterborough Diner, Jackie Manoai of Jaffrey shared Lucker’s same sentiments.

“I feel thrilled,” she said. “I’ve been so horrified by what is happening in this country. I want us to be proud to be American again.”

While the totals may take a couple of days to finalize, if the Democrats gain a majority in the New Hampshire House and Senate, it’ll be the first time since 2018.

Despite the blue wave across the state, Republican Gov. Kelly Ayotte won reelection.

Certain Republican strongholds, like Rindge and New Ipswich, remained staunchly conservative.

At the polls, Jennie Aho of Rindge said she supports candidates who align with President Donald Trump and who she can count on.

“I want to stay free and stay on the same trajectory Trump has put us on, and I think a lot of candidates are with him on that,” she said.

As for Ayotte, Aho believes she can count on her.

“I really do trust she’s going to do the right thing,” she said.

Dan and Carol Wolfson of Lyndeborough took a different stance, leaning Democratic, but similarly voted for Kelly Ayotte.

“We don’t approve of the current regime,” Carol said about the Republican Party, but the couple wasn’t convinced by Democratic challenger Cinde Warmington’s gubernatorial campaign.
