Former New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairwoman Kathy Sullivan has decided to run for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) seat being vacated by Anita Freedman.

The seat is one of two at-large seats that represents New Hampshire to the national party.

Sullivan cited the need to protect the New Hampshire primary as one reason why she is running.

In their upcoming State Convention, New Hampshire Democrats will get to vote for a new Democratic National Committee (DNC) person and will see a challenge for their other at-large seat.

The Union Leader is reporting that Anita Freedman has decided that she will not seek reelection to her post as DNC Committeewoman. Freedman has represented New Hampshire on the DNC since 1985.
