Gottesman Not to Seek Re-Election
Buckley Confident that Democrat will Win District 12
(Concord) - Two term NH State Senator Dave Gottesman announced today he will not be seeking reelection.
"In his four years in the state senate, Sen. Gottesman has been a devoted servant to his constituents, and as Commerce committee chairman, he has been a champion for consumers," said Ray Buckley chair of the New Hampshire Democratic Party. "He is highly respected in the Senate for his knowledge and skill and will be missed."
"We have several prospective candidates, and we expect a formal announcement shortly. I am confident that no matter who decides to run, given the overwhelming popularity of Governor Lynch, Congressman Hodes, Councilor Pignatelli and that of Governor Shaheen's for the US Senate, as well as the strong election team at the Senate Democratic Caucus, that the Democrat will win District 12 in November," continued Buckley. "At the Senate Democratic Caucus, we are well ahead of where we were in 2006 when Democrats picked up six seats, and all evidence points to 2008 being an even better year for Democrats."

Quote of the Day
July 25, 2008
"I don't think it follows logically or factually from the facts that Senator McCain was on the ballot and eventually got the nomination of the Republican Party that your vote was somehow undermined."
-- U.S. District Court Judge Joseph LePlante on his ruling against a legal challenge filed by Fred Hollander, a Nashua resident, who claimed that since John McCain was born in the Panama Canal Zone, he was ineligible to run for president.
