"I take a very different approach. I believe that the middle class deserves a tax cut, and I believe that we will do a lot for this country by ensuring that we don't continue this disastrous tax policy." 

"You do not understand regular people's concerns."

Goodlander has an apartment in Nashua, New Hampshire, in the 2nd District and said during the debate that she would own property in the district if elected, the New Hampshire Center for Public Interest Journalism reported.

Both candidates are millionaires, but Goodlander appears to be worth far more than Tang Williams. 

Tang Williams is worth between $3.8 million and $8.6 million, while Goodlander is worth between $9.9 million and $39 million, with most of her wealth in a trust fund, according to WMUR-TV, citing financial disclosures. 

When Tang Williams came to the U.S. from China, she only had $100 in her pocket, according to the New Hampshire Center for Public Interest Journalism.

The two women are running for the open seat in New Hampshire's 2nd District vacated by Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster.

The latest poll shows Goodlander with an eight-point lead ahead of Tuesday. 

Tang Williams is a Chinese immigrant who became a U.S. citizen in 1994. She has also previously run as a Libertarian in Colorado. 

Goodlander is a native of New Hampshire and part of a well-connected political family in the state.
