Lily Tang Williams Wins New Hampshire 2nd District GOP Primary After Raising Nearly $1.2 Million

Summary
Lily Tang Williams secured the Republican nomination in New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District, defeating three rivals to earn another shot at the seat she contested in 2024.
Nearly $1.2 million in fundraising gave the businesswoman a commanding financial edge over runner-up Victor Orlando, who raised about $175,000, while the other two candidates drew only tiny vote shares.
Tang Williams, a Chinese immigrant and former New Hampshire Libertarian Party chair, campaigned as a center-right independent voice willing to oppose President Donald Trump when she says district interests require it.
The western New Hampshire district is held by Rep. Maggie Goodlander, but Republicans see an opening after Tang Williams won 47% there in 2024 despite the state’s broader Democratic lean.
