There are more than a dozen Republicans looking to oust the two Democrats representing New Hampshire in the U.S. House of Representatives—potentially critical races nationally given the Live Free or Die state’s status as a swing state.

Who decides the outcome of the contested GOP races may not necessarily be Republican voters with about 39 percent of New Hampshire’s registered voters remaining undeclared.

Race for 1st Congressional District

Among the top contenders for the 1st Congressional seat, held by ultra-liberal Democrat Chris Pappas, is 25-year-old ultra-conservative Karoline Leavitt, a former White House press writer.
