Three New Hampshire Federal Candidates Endorsed by Track AIPAC, Reject Foreign-Influenced PAC Money

Karishma Manzur, Heath Howard, and Paige Beauchemin pledge independence from AIPAC and other big-money political committees

EXETER, NH – Three federal candidates in New Hampshire are rejecting support from AIPAC and foreign-influenced political spending, arguing that U.S. elections should not be influenced by outside interests.

U.S. Senate candidate Karishma Manzur and congressional candidates Heath Howard (NH-01) and Paige Beauchemin (NH-02) have each been endorsed by Track AIPAC, a national watchdog organization that monitors and exposes AIPAC-aligned political spending.

“Track AIPAC proudly endorses Karishma Manzur, Heath Howard, and Paige Beauchemin. As special interests spend millions to influence our elections, these candidates have shown real integrity by rejecting foreign-influenced PAC money outright. They represent a new wave of leadership that prioritizes peace and diplomacy and will fight to invest our tax dollars in American communities instead of endless wars abroad."

Manzur said rejecting AIPAC-aligned money is both a moral and economic issue for New Hampshire voters.

“Granite Staters are tired of politicians funded by AIPAC who prioritize the agenda of foreign governments over American communities,” said Manzur. “My opponent, Rep. Chris Pappas, takes AIPAC money and supports Israel’s war on Gaza and Iran, then turns around and acts as if he is sympathetic to working families struggling because our tax dollars are being spent on war instead of our communities. As U.S. Senator, I will invest in people here at home, not bankroll endless wars.”

Howard said New Hampshire voters want representatives who answer to their constituents, not powerful political committees.

“New Hampshire voters deserve leaders who are accountable to them, not to wealthy PACs spending millions to shape our elections,” Howard said. “I’m proud to stand with candidates who believe our foreign policy should be guided by diplomacy, human rights, and the interests of the American people.” 

Beauchemin emphasized that the issue is about restoring public trust

“Too many Americans feel like our elections are being bought and sold by powerful special interests,” Beauchemin said. “By rejecting AIPAC money and standing up for independent leadership, we’re showing voters that there is a better path forward rooted in transparency, diplomacy, and putting our communities first.”

Together, the three campaigns represent a growing movement in New Hampshire politics, one committed to diplomacy over endless war, and to investing American resources in communities at home rather than overseas conflicts.
