In New Hampshire’s open 1st Congressional District Republican primary, the tight race between Anthony DiLorenzo and Hollie Noveletsky reflects an absence of recent public polling and a fragmented field of candidates relying on personal resources and targeted endorsements ahead of the September 8 contest. DiLorenzo, an auto dealership owner positioning himself as an outsider focused on energy costs and housing, has drawn support through self-funding and a key endorsement from influential state GOP chair Steve Stepanek. Noveletsky, a former party vice chair and business owner, has countered with advertising highlighting immigration differences and secured backing from the Associated Builders and Contractors. Elizabeth Girard’s earlier campaign suspension has yet to consolidate remaining support, while lower-polling contenders Melissa Bailey and Brian Cole could act as spoilers. Fundraising disclosures and upcoming debates remain the main variables that could shift trader consensus in this closely matched primary.
