New Hampshire's 2nd congressional district covers the western, northern, and some southern parts of New Hampshire. It includes the state's second-largest city, Nashua, as well as the state capital, Concord. It is currently represented in the United States House of Representatives by Democrat Ann McLane Kuster.
The district is classified by the Census Bureau as a majority-rural district, with 51.67% of its population residing in rural areas.[3] The district is home to Dartmouth College, the state's second-largest college, and all three of its representatives since 1995 (Charles Bass, Paul Hodes, and Annie Kuster) have been Dartmouth alumni. Some of the largest employers in the district are Dartmouth–Hitchcock Medical Center, Dartmouth College, Southern New Hampshire Health System, and BAE Systems.
