GOP Gov. Kelly Ayotte and Democrat Cinde Warmington to face off for New Hampshire governorship
Ayotte will face Democrat Cinde Warmington after expanding voter ID rules, crime penalties and school choice as governor.
On Tuesday, Gov Kelly Ayotte won the Republican nomination, setting up a New Hampshire general election contest against Democrat Cinde Warmington.
Ayotte defeated challengers Shaun Fife and Bob McClory to secure her spot, while Warmington ran unopposed for the Democratic nomination.
Regarding campaign clashes, Ayotte criticized Warmington for lobbying work 24 years ago representing Purdue Pharma, while Warmington challenged Ayotte's school choice policies and the Trump administration.
Warmington said her team will work hard over the next eight weeks to bring home affordable healthcare, housing, and childcare for Granite Staters.
Voters will decide the general election on Nov 3, as Democrats argue Ayotte is beatable despite historical trends favoring first-term governors.
