EXCLUSIVE – A seasoned reporter and self-described lifelong Democrat was so fed up by her party’s failures with the working class that she’s considering jumping into the fray herself.
Hanna Trudo, a former reporter for The Hill who’s also made stops at such sites as The Daily Beast, Wired, The New Republic and Politico, is mulling a run for the First Congressional District in her home state of New Hampshire. The seat, currently occupied by Rep. Chris Pappas, D-N.H., is opening up next year as Papp and runs for U.S. Senate to replace outgoing Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H.
Trudo, a fourth-generation, millennial New Hampshire native, has reported extensively on the Democratic Party’s left flank during her journalism career. And to hear her put it, she’s gotten tired of them not delivering for a base of voters that started flocking to President Donald Trump over the past decade.
