Independent state Senate candidate Betty Hall has submitted the necessary number of signatures to be verified by local election officials.
Hall, of Brookline, is attempting to run for the state Senate in the 12th district, which includes parts of Nashua, Hollis, Mason and Brookline. To gain access to the November ballot she needed to submit 700 signatures for verification and now must wait for the town clerks to approve the signatures.
"The help of grassroots folks in extensive (wet) 'boots on the ground' tramping all around the district was just so gracious and so very much appreciated. Some even took the time to go to my website to get a form and then mailed it to me," Hall said in a press release. "There were days when I felt I should be wearing waders and days when it seemed that I was the only one out-and-about in such weather."
Hall joins a race that includes Paul LaFlamme (R-Nashua) and Peggy Gilmour (D-Hollis). The seat is an open seat because state Sen. David Gottesman (D-Nashua) decided not to seek re-election earlier this year.

I Agree !! How refreshing to have the choice of a candidate who has the courage to step-outside-of-their-game and go thru all that extra work just to get her name out there before the voters.
