NASHUA – Attorney Maggie Goodlander, a Gate City native, recently announced her campaign to represent New Hampshire’s Second Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

“I know how to get things done and deliver for New Hampshire,” said Goodlander. “I’ll be a workhorse for the people of the Second District and I’ll never stop fighting for a freer and more just Granite State.”

Goodlander was born and raised in Nashua – the city her family has called home for more than 100 years. She began her career as a congressional foreign policy advisor and assisted in writing landmark sanction legislation and strengthening democracy around the world. She then went on to serve as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve for more than a decade.

Goodlander attended law school at Yale University and clerked in the U.S. Supreme Court for Justice Stephen Breyer before teaching constitutional law at the University of New Hampshire and Dartmouth College. She also served on the boards of the New Hampshire Women’s Foundation, New Hampshire Legal Assistance, the World Affairs Council of New Hampshire and the Rudman Center Advisory Board.

Goodlander served as counsel in the first impeachment of former President Donald Trump, driven by her belief that no politician is above the law. After President Joe Biden was elected, she took on corporate monopolies as a deputy attorney general in the Justice Department, committed to the idea that no corporation is above the law either. She stood up to real estate companies colluding on rental costs and big healthcare companies that are making life difficult for hardworking Granite Staters.

Most recently, Goodlander served as a senior advisor at the White House where she led Biden’s Unity Agenda, dedicated to solving five big challenges: beating the opioid epidemic, tackling the mental health crisis, holding Big Tech accountable, meeting the sacred obligation to veterans and putting an end to cancer.
