NH News Recap for Aug. 30, 2024: Resumes of Democratic candidates in 2nd Congressional District race come into focus


Listen Later

The Democratic primary for New Hampshire's 2nd Congressional District has largely been about the biographies and competing resumes of the two leading candidates, Colin Van Ostern and Maggie Goodlander. What are they choosing to say, emphasize and deemphasize as they campaign?

Financial assistance is available through the federal government, but some communities are falling through the cracks.


Guests:

  • Josh Rogers, NHPR
  • Sophia Keshmiri, Keene Sentinel
