Donald C. Bolduc (born May 8, 1962)[2] is a retired brigadier general of the United States Army. The Republican nominee in the 2022 U.S. Senate election in New Hampshire, he lost to incumbent Democrat Maggie Hassan.[3] Bolduc was also a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2020, but did not win the primary. As of 2024, Bolduc is employed as a police officer in Pittsfield, New Hampshire.[4]
Bolduc has been described by newspapers and wire services as far-right.[5] He initially endorsed the false Stop the Steal conspiracy theory positing that the 2020 U.S. presidential election was rigged to favor Joe Biden. He later acknowledged that the election was not stolen, stating that his previous positions were "political games".[4]
