It's by far the least discussed race but Sununu winning by 15% sounds about right.
Less than half of his margin in 2020, but still a big win.

The MAGA sweep in New Hampshire included far-right former Hillsborough Treasurer Bob Burns defeating Sununu-backed Keene Mayor George Hansel in #NH02.
Burns labeled Hansel as "Woke George", racking up margins anywhere where there was a sizable GOP primary voter presence.
Hansel really collapsed in the Hillsborough portion of NH-02, which he needed to win. He even lost moderate R towns like Hollis
Former 2016 Libertarian Colorado Senate candidate Lilly Tang Williams, who was endorsed by some "liberty" types greatly outperformed expectations IMO.
