At a June 27 gathering in the Andover Barn at the Highland Lake Inn, gubernatorial candidate Mark Connolly (in necktie) told a local audience, “We must work together and build New Hampshire’s future on the pillars of education, innovation, job creation, and safe communities.” Connolly is one of three candidates for governor on the Democratic Party ticket. A longtime businessman and former Deputy Secretary of State, Connolly will face fellow Democrats Steve Marchand, former mayor of Portsmouth, and Colin Van Ostern, a member of the New Hampshire Executive Council, in the Tuesday, September 13 primary.
