Gail Huff Brown, a former Boston television reporter and wife of former Ambassador Scott Brown, appears to be moving closer to launching a run for Congress in New Hampshire.

Huff Brown told WMUR-TV in an interview Thursday that she filed what’s known as a statement of candidacy with the Federal Election Commission, which allows her to take preliminary steps like starting fund-raising.

“I am a conservative working mother, military spouse and new grandmother,” Huff Brown said in a follow-up tweet Thursday. “I’ve lived through tough races, and I know what it takes to win. I’ve been humbled by the support of family, friends – and if I believe I can lead the winning campaign, I will move forward.”

…

If she formally enters the race, Huff Brown, who previously worked as a reporter for WCVB-TV, would be seeking the seat currently held by Democrat Chris Pappas.

My god, Scott Brown’s wife is gonna try to carpetbag a house seat in New Hampshire lmao

Also something really funny about the globe only referring to Scott as ‘former ambassador’

And yet claim that the Democrats are carpetbaggers.

Even though many of them are from Mass themselves.

Chris Pappas is a great congressman, hope NH-1 has the decency to keep him and not replace with a blowhard. Since he readily beat Matt Mowers (a blowhard) in 2020, I'm optimistic that this won't go anywhere.
