NH-12

Inside Edge has learned from a reliable Nashua source Peggy Gilmour of Hollis will be announcing for the state senate in District 12. She will likely have the full support of outgoing state senator David Gottesman. Peggy, an area nurse, is a well known community activist.

For Gottesman's seat State Rep. Suzanne Harvey is giving serious consideration to running for the 12th senate district being vacated by Sen. David Gottesman.  Harvey currently represents Nashua Ward 2in the NH House and serves as the Vice Chair of the Science Technology and Energy Committee. 

Now that state Senator David Gottesman has decided to step down, some Republicans are looking towards Harry Haytayan to take another shot at the seat.  Haytayan won a 3-way primary in 2004 after Jane O’Hearn had announced her retirement, but lost his general election bid against Gottesman by less than 200 votes.
