By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterDENVER- House Speaker Terie Norelli (D-Portsmouth) says she is "very optimistic" about the Democrats maintaining control over the House.
"I'm feeling very optimistic about making history again in November with back-to-back Democratic victories," Norelli told PolitickerNH.com.
Norelli said the Democratic caucus is "very well positioned" to elect candidates in November.
"We're training candidates, raising money for them and they've begun campaigning door-to-door," she said.
Norelli also said that Rockingham County will be a battleground area in the general election.
"I understand that not only is New Hampshire a battleground but that for battleground counties Rockingham County is considered a battleground."
Norelli said statewide candidates campaign in the Seacoast area because of the active grassroots network.

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.”
