2016

Before suspending his campaign, he was slated to face incumbent Frank Guinta and Jamieson Gradert in the Republican primary on September 13, 2016.

In December 2015, Innis asked his supporters to make year-end contributions to a Manchester drug treatment center, Hope for New Hampshire, instead of to his campaign. [6]

Innis suspended his congressional campaign in March 2016, citing family priorities and business interests. [7]

On May 26, 2016, Innis announced he would be running for New Hampshire Senate District 24 which comprises the towns of Greenland, Hampton, Hampton Falls, Kensington, New Castle, North Hampton, Newton, Rye, Seabrook, Stratham and South Hampton. [8] On September 13, 2016, Innis won the Republican nomination in a four-way race for State Senate in NH District 24. [9] He beat Democratic State Rep. Tom Sherman for the seat in the general election on November 8. [10]
