Kiper seeks New Hampshire governorship as independent

wmur.com

Jon Kiper, a business owner, announced his independent candidacy for New Hampshire governor in 2026, aiming to challenge the established two-party system. Kiper previously ran as a Democrat in 2024, garnering over 11,000 votes in the primary. He cited inflexibility within the Democratic Party as his reason for switching parties, focusing on housing and school funding. Analysts suggest Kiper's independent run could significantly impact the election, potentially drawing votes away from the Democratic candidate, if one emerges.
