The seat in the Granite State's 2nd district was recently vacated after Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster announced that she would not be seeking re-election at the end of her term.

If Goodlander jumps in, the House race could garner several high-profile endorsements stemming from the couple's ties to the Clintons, former President Barack Obama and President Biden.
