Background

Biography

Cinde Warmington is a former health care attorney. She served on the New Hampshire Executive Council, where her campaign says she was the only Democrat on the five-member body. In 2024 she ran for governor and lost the Democratic primary to then-Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig by about six percentage points. On February 18, 2026 she announced a second campaign for governor, saying grocery, housing, electricity and property tax costs were her focus. In the September 2026 Democratic primary she was the only Democrat on the ballot, and the NBC News Decision Desk listed the race as uncontested; her campaign said on September 9, 2026 that she had officially become the Democratic nominee. She faces Republican Governor Kelly Ayotte, who won her party's primary, in the November 3 general election.
