"Following Boudman’s win, Republicans now hold a 214-178 advantage in the 400-member state House, with one seat held by an independent and the rest vacant.

Given New Hampshire’s penchant for major swings at the state level, Boudman’s showing suggests Democrats have a real shot at reclaiming the House in November, when every seat will be up."
