Ayotte, who was New Hampshire's first female attorney general, said she is more interested in following in Sununu's footsteps. "Over the last eight years under Gov. Sununu's leadership, this state has been rocking it," she told supporters in Manchester. "And this election is about making sure New Hampshire remains that way."
Craig served on the Manchester school board and board of aldermen before being elected as the city's first female mayor in 2017. She said leading the state's largest city for three terms gives her the experience to be governor, though critics blamed her for its ongoing struggles with homelessness and crime.
In remarks to supporters, Craig said she is prepared to tackle the state's housing crisis, strengthen public schools and expand access to reproductive health care. She also accused Ayotte of lying about her record. "The last thing our state needs is a governor pitting people and communities against each other," Craig said. "She is the most extreme threat to reproductive freedom."
