Pappas is the first openly gay man to represent New Hampshire in Congress.[2] His district covers much of the southern and eastern parts of New Hampshire and includes the state's largest city, Manchester, as well as the Seacoast and the Lakes Region.
Early life and education
Pappas was born in Manchester, New Hampshire, the son of Dawn and Arthur Pappas.[3] His paternal great-grandfather, also named Arthur Pappas, arrived in New Hampshire as a new American citizen in the early 20th century, having recently emigrated from Greece. In 1917 Arthur Pappas and his cousin Louis Canota founded an ice cream shop in Manchester. By 1919 they had expanded the business into a restaurant, now known as the Puritan Backroom, and in 1949 they added a function room. In 1974 Charlie Pappas, grandfather of Chris Pappas and co-owner of the Puritan at the time, invented the chicken tender. The business remains family-owned, and as of 2020 Chris Pappas was one of the owners.[4]
In 1996, as a high school student, Pappas met Jeanne Shaheen, then a state senator and the Democratic nominee for governor. He signed on as a volunteer for Shaheen's campaign, marking his first foray into politics.[3] Shaheen went on to win that election and serve three terms as governor.
Pappas returned to Manchester after graduating college and was elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives in 2002.[3] He served two terms before being elected treasurer of Hillsborough County. He was defeated by Bob Burns for a third term as county treasurer in 2010.[8][9]
In 2012, Pappas was elected to the New Hampshire Executive Council from the 4th district, defeating Burns.[10] He was reelected in 2014 and 2016.[11][12] In 2016, Pappas voted to extend substance abuse treatment to 140,000 New Hampshire residents.[13][14] He also supported increased funding for substance abuse prevention, treatment, and recovery.[15]
Pappas defeated Republican Eddie Edwards, a former police chief and member of the New Hampshire State Division of Liquor Enforcement, in the general election, with 53.6% of the vote.[21][22] He won every county except Belknap County.
Pappas ran for reelection to a second term and was unopposed in the Democratic primary.[23] He defeated Republican Matt Mowers, a former New Hampshire Republican Party executive director and former U.S. State Department staffer, in the general election, receiving 51.32% of the vote.[24][25]
Pappas ran for a fourth term in 2024. He defeated Kevin Rondeau for the Democratic nomination, winning 95.2% of the vote.[28] He faced Republican Russell Prescott, a former state senator with whom Pappas served on the New Hampshire Executive Council, in the general election.[29] He was reelected with 52.5% of the vote.[30]
Pappas voted with President Joe Biden's stated position 100% of the time in the 117th Congress, according to a FiveThirtyEight analysis.[35] The Lugar Center ranked Pappas as the most bipartisan Democrat and the third most bipartisan member of Congress overall in the 118th Congress.[36]
In August 2022, Pappas criticized President Biden's plan to cancel $10,000 in federal student debt for those making less than $125,000 and up to $20,000 for Pell Grant recipients, calling it "no way to make policy", and saying it did little to address the root cause of increasing costs of higher education.[39][40]
On February 1, 2023, Pappas was among twelve Democrats to vote for a resolution to end the COVID-19 national emergency.[41][42]
Syria
In 2023, Pappas voted against H. Con. Res. 21 which directed President Joe Biden to remove U.S. troops from Syria within 180 days.[43][44]
Israeli–Palestinian conflict
On November 7, 2023, Pappas voted in favor of H.Res 845 to censure Representative Rashida Tlaib. The censure resolution accused Tlaib of "promoting false narratives regarding the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel and for calling for the destruction of the state of Israel."[45][46] The resolution stated that the phrase "from the river to the sea" is "a genocidal call to violence to destroy the state of Israel and its people to replace it with a Palestinian state extending from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea".[47] 212 Republicans and 22 Democrats voted for the resolution,[48][49][50] and 188 representatives (184 Democrats and four Republicans) against it.[51]
Pappas co-owns the Puritan Backroom restaurant in Manchester.[59] The Puritan Backroom is well-known in New Hampshire as a frequent stop for presidential candidates during the New Hampshire primary.[60]
