NASHUA, N.H. — Last week, Governor Kelly Ayotte’s announced an across-the-aisle outreach effort with the re-launch of its Democrats for Kelly coalition. 

Five prominent New Hampshire Democrats will serve as Co-Chairs and will support the campaign’s efforts to reach across the aisle and emphasize Governor Ayotte’s record of bipartisan leadership on housing, public safety, childcare, and other issues that matter to Granite Staters regardless of political party.

  • Former Manchester School Board Member Arthur Beaudry – Somersworth
  • Bernie Plante – Nashua
