Rep. Carol Shea-Porter (D-N.H.) announced Friday that she will not seek reelection in 2018, creating an open race for a swing seat.
Shea-Porter’s Manchester-area district is one of the most competitive districts in the country. It’s one of only 12 districts won by President Trump that are currently represented by Democrats.
Shea-Porter is opting not to seek reelection only nine months after taking the oath of office in January. She has switched places twice in the last seven years with ex-Rep. Frank Guinta (R-N.H.), whom she unseated for the second time in 2016. Guinta successfully challenged her in the 2010 and 2014 GOP wave elections.
Shea-Porter is the third Democrat representing a Trump district who has decided not to seek reelection to the House. Reps. Tim Walz (D-Minn.) and Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) are running for governor and Senate, respectively.
