Kelly Ayotte Declares Bid for New Hampshire Governor

Former New Hampshire Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte has announced her campaign for governor, joining the race to succeed popular Republican Governor Chris Sununu in 2024. Ayotte, a veteran of New Hampshire Republican politics, previously served as state attorney general and US senator. She will face competition in the GOP primary, including former New Hampshire Senate President Chuck Morse, while the Democratic mayor of Manchester, Joyce Craig, has also declared her candidacy. Ayotte's campaign provides an opportunity for Democrats to gain control over New Hampshire's governorship.
