"As NHIOP political director, she will continue her key role at the Institute, analyzing national, state and local races and serving as a resource to the NHIOP and Saint Anselm students," a press release states.

Donahue will also join Harvard's Institute of Politics as a fellow at the Kennedy School of Government, where she will teach a class on the 2008 election.

Saint Anselm recently announced that U.S. Sen. Judd Gregg (R-Rye) and New Hampshire Secretary of State Bill Gardner will lead an NHIOP advisory board.

Can someone help me out?


I have yet to hear Jennifer Donahue offer anything that would be considered insightful at anytime. Am I missing something or is this the peter principle at work?

Another Waste of Tax Payers Money


What exactly does the NHIOP do for the NH community other than suit the needs of educating the students at the private catholic institution of St. Anslem College? There's nothing "local" about this institute in my eyes. It's only a ploy used to secure federal funding in going towards a private religious institution.

There should be a free standing institute separate of special interests that educates the public on civic duty and to get the youth of NH involved in the political discourse of our state and country.
