Karishma Announces Run for U.S. Senate
“IT’S TIME TO RESTORE POWER TO THE PEOPLE”: MEDICAL SCIENTIST, NONPROFIT LEADER KARISHMA MANZUR ANNOUNCES RUN FOR U.S. SENATE
EXETER, NH – (August 20, 2025) Today, medical scientist and nonprofit leader Karishma Manzur announced her campaign to represent New Hampshire in the United States Senate. In the launch video, Manzur pledges to fight for affordable housing, quality healthcare, and a lower cost of living for every Granite Stater.
Manzur spent over 20 years researching treatments for illnesses like epilepsy and depression. Manzur is currently on the boards of NH Ranked Choice Voting and NH Open Democracy, and has served on the board of NH Peace Action. Through the nonprofit efforts, Manzur is working against the impact of corporate greed and political corruption.
“As a scientist, I follow the facts and seek the truth,” said Manzur in the announcement video. “And the truth is, our system is broken. But I believe we can change that. That’s why I’m running to represent the people of New Hampshire in the United States Senate.”
If elected, Manzur would be the first female PhD scientist ever to serve in the U.S. Senate (and the second PhD scientist in the history of the Senate). She will bring evidence-based leadership to tackle the housing crisis, guarantee Medicare for All, invest in American workers, defend constitutional rights, and protect New Hampshire’s environment.
In Washington, Manzur’s priorities will include:
Banning Big Money in politics
Fixing the housing crisis
Lowering the cost of childcare, groceries, and utilities
Guaranteeing quality, affordable healthcare for everyone
Defending the Constitution and strengthening our democracy
Keeping New Hampshire wild and beautiful
“It’s time for fresh leadership in Washington,” said Manzur. “For too long, billionaires and corporate special interests have written the rules while working families are left behind. I’m running to restore power to the people, and build a future that works for all of us.”
“She represents a fresh, progressive wave of change that is beginning to emerge as an antidote to the politics of nationalism, genocide, oligarchy, and dystopia,” said New Hampshire Rep. Tony Caplan in his endorsement.
“This race isn’t about me, it’s about us. It’s New Hampshire versus the billionaires,” said Manzur. “Granite Staters deserve a true public servant who will put people first, champion real opportunity for everyone, and answer only to the voters."
