Why are the New Hampshire Young Republicans getting involved in a Democrat primary in this manner?
Especially when attacking Maura Sullivan now helps Chris Pappas who would be the strongest Democrat candidate in Congressional District 01.
Pappas has won the Executive Council race in District 4, which has substantial overlap with CD01, multiple times.
To win EC4, Pappas has had to attract material GOP support.
And Pappas alone among the Democrats running in the CD01 primary has a track record of attracting GOP support.
What gives?
Ask the Chairman of the Young Republicans is Joe Sweeney who also happens to be employed as a staffer for the New Hampshire Republican Party. It seems a safe bet that if the Young Republicans had gone rogue and the GOP Establishment wanted the Young Republicans to knock it off, they could get Sweeney to knock it off.
I would not rule out incompetence as the reason the GOP is helping Chris Pappas in the Democrat primary (that is, that the GOP Establishment foolishly believes Sullivan would be a stronger candidate than Pappas). But I also would not rule out that the GOP Establishment is not enamored with either candidate running in the GOP primary and would prefer Pappas in Congress.
