Jeff Chidester talks with former Keene Mayor, policy expert, and entrepreneur George Hansel for a wide-ranging discussion on the 2026 New Hampshire Midterm elections.

The conversation kicks off with “kitchen table” issues—the economic concerns affecting New Hampshire families daily—and how they’re shaping the current political landscape. Jeff and George then dive into the latest on the fiercely competitive and closely watched U.S. Senate race between Chris Pappas and John E. Sununu, analyzing what voters are looking for as Election Day approaches.

Finally, the discussion turns to a more sobering topic: the rising tide of violent political rhetoric and its very real, personal impact on candidates, elected officials, and their families.
