Update: N.H. senate Dems raise over $1M
By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterThe New Hampshire state senate Democrats has raised $1.7 million this period.
The figure is a combination from the Democratic Senate campaigns and the Senate Democratic Caucus.
"We are very excited to have the resources to run successful re-election campaigns and mount competitive challenges," state Sen. Sylvia Larsen (D-Concord) said in a press release. "That said, I've never believed that simply having more dollars wins elections. Our Senators and candidates are going door-to-door, holding town hall meetings, and engaging in the retail politics that New Hampshire voters expect."

Lou D'Allesandro (D-Manchester) raised $28,845 and ended the period with a surplus of $191,171. State Sen. Kathy Sgambati (D-Tilton) raked-in $14,000 and state Sen. Harold Janeway (D-Webster) raised $8,751.
Update: Jay Phinizy (D-Acworth) raised $14, 853 and ended with $11,408 while fellow candidate state Rep. Martha McLeod (D-Franconia) raised $28,419 and closed with $27,335. Bob Backus (D-Manchester), running again against state Sen. Ted Gatsas (D-Manchester), raised $30,385 and ended the period with a surplus of $51,157.
The Democratic state senators are also reporting. State Sen. Jackie Cilley (D-Barrington) raised $10,689 and ended with $26,191 in the bank, while state Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-Exeter) raised $24,583 and closed the period with $69,822.

Quote of the Day
“In this era of crisis, it is important that all Americans step up in service to our country. In these next five years, the leading national issues will surely be the creation of new jobs, the economy, finance and financial regulation, energy, the environment, infrastructure and foreign policy,” Bestani said in a press release. “I have been privileged to have had a thirty-five year career which has given me high level experience in each of these complex fields. I think I would be remiss if I did not come forward and once again offer to serve our country.”
