CONCORD-- In a state senate primary that has been marked by investigations, rumors and reports of illegal campaign activity, both candidates say they are ready to move onto the general election.

Larry Elliott, a former state representative and a current candidate for state senate in New Hampshire’s 7th senate district has sent out an email to potential supporters and contributors from the Log Cabin Republicans.
