[constituency_baseline] District summary: New Hampshire's 1st Congressional District covers parts of Southern New Hampshire and the eastern portion of the state, including all of Strafford and Carroll counties and parts of Hillsborough, Rockingham, Merrimack, Grafton, and Belknap counties. It includes the city of Manchester (New Hampshire's largest city), the Seacoast Region, and the Lakes Region. The district has a population of approximately 708,843 with a median household income of $102,258 (2024) — well above the national median. It is predominantly White at 87.3% with small Hispanic (4.3%), multiracial (3.8%), Asian (2.5%), and Black (1.5%) populations. The Cook PVI is D+2, making it one of the most competitive districts in New England — a presidential bellwether that has voted for the Electoral College winner in four consecutive elections through 2020. The economy is anchored by healthcare (Elliot Health System), financial services (Fidelity Investments), education (University System of New Hampshire), retail (J. Jill), manufacturing, and tourism (Lakes Region, White Mountains). The poverty rate is just 4.5%, and 41.5% of residents hold a bachelor's degree. Homeownership is 71.8% with a median home value of $429,400. In 2024, the district voted for Kamala Harris even though she lost nationally, while reelecting Pappas with 54% of the vote.

Voted yea on H.Res. 24 (117th Congress, Second Impeachment) (Second Impeachment of President Donald Trump) on 2021-01-13: Voted to impeach Trump for inciting the January 6 Capitol insurrection. As a moderate in a swing district, this vote carried political risk. Pappas also supported the first Trump impeachment in 2019 as a freshman, stating on NHPR that 'removing him from office' was justified.

Voted nay on H.R. 22 (SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act)) on 2025-04-10: Voted against requiring documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote. Stated the bill 'would force unnecessary federal changes to state voter registration and election procedures, creating even more undue burdens for married women, military members and their families, and seniors when they go to vote.'

Voted yea on H.R. 3746 (Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023) on 2023-05-31: Voted to suspend the debt ceiling and avoid catastrophic default, joining 165 Democrats and 149 Republicans.

Meanwhile, he receives both Chamber of Commerce and AFL-CIO endorsements — a rare combination that highlights his straddling of pro-business and pro-labor coalitions, but which critics argue reflects political triangulation rather than principled positioning.

Pappas is touted as the most bipartisan House Democrat and breaks with his party on select procedural votes, yet his substantive voting record — 97% AFL-CIO score, opposing OBBB, supporting impeachment, opposing GOP budget resolutions — aligns almost perfectly with the Democratic mainstream, suggesting his 'bipartisan' label is driven more by measured rhetoric and careful issue selection than by transformative cross-aisle compromise.

Pappas voted against the Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement (MORE) Act to legalize cannabis at the federal level in 2020, becoming one of only six House Democrats to do so.

Pappas cultivates a moderate image and has voted against legalizing cannabis federally (one of only six House Democrats to do so) and criticized Biden's student debt plan — positions that break from progressive orthodoxy and underscore his centrist political instincts in a swing district.

Expected position: As one of the most bipartisan House Democrats representing a district with a significant college population and as an openly gay member who champions human rights, Pappas would be expected to weigh in on the Gaza war. Progressive activists and constituents repeatedly urged him to co-sponsor the House ceasefire resolution. Evidence of activity on adjacent topics: During this window, Pappas was highly active issuing statements on foreign policy, including his vote in support of the April 2024 Israel supplemental ($26 billion) and a May 2024 statement condemning campus antisemitism. However, he did not sign onto the ceasefire resolution (H.Res. 786) that 103 House Democrats co-sponsored. A Concord Monitor letter from constituents asked: 'Which side are you on — Israel or humanity?' and a NH Journal article noted progressive challenger Karishma Manzur accused Pappas of 'enabling genocide' and failing to stand up to Trump.

Scoring Methodology

The Capture Risk Score is a composite 0–100 index measuring potential regulatory capture of elected officials. It is computed from seven weighted components:

ComponentWeightSignal
Contradiction Risk30%Stated positions contradicted by the record (recent findings boosted)
Donor Influence20%Distinct documented donors (FEC Schedule A PACs); inferred donors do not count
Connection Density20%Mapped relationships to lobbyists, contractors, interest groups; donor links excluded
Silence Risk15%Topics where donors have interests but the official is silent
Intelligence Volume15%Documented facts from verified sources
Constituency Deviation0%Shown, not weighted — a model estimate, not a record
Voting Misalignment0%Shown, not weighted — needs platform commitments almost nobody has; the roll-call record on /votes is the vote signal

Each component is the member's standing among all scored members of Congress, and the weighted sum is the overall score. Tiers are ranks: Critical is the top 5%, High the next 10%, Elevated the next 20%, Moderate the next 30%, and Low the rest.

Officials without at least 2 documented facts, 1 contradiction analysis, 1 voting record, or 1 constituency baseline are marked Insufficient Evidence and excluded from numeric ranking.

Contradiction findings from the last 180 days receive a recency boost. High-severity contradictions (score ≥ 70) receive additional weight.

Calculation Methodology

Contract values are summed from documented money flow chains where this entity appears as a source or destination node. Amounts are drawn from USASpending.gov, FEC filings, SEC EDGAR, or LD-2 lobbying registrations.

Donor contributions aggregate documented amounts from the donor_interests table, sourced from FEC individual and PAC contribution filings.

Connected officials are elected officials in our database with a mapped relationship (lobbying, board membership, campaign contribution, etc.) to this entity.

Annualised flow represents the total documented dollar amount traced through money flow hops involving this entity. Where hop-level amounts are unavailable, the chain-level documented total is used as a conservative upper bound.

All figures are drawn from public filings. Estimates are conservative — undisclosed transactions, dark money, and vanish-point hops are excluded from totals. This is a minimum documented floor, not a ceiling.
