Hogan to make second bid for SD-13
By Wally EdgeNashua Republicans will have Dennis Hogan taking a second shot at Senate District 13 this fall. Earlier today Sen. Majority Leader Joe Foster announced he would not be seeking reelection and the Democrats announced state Representative Bette Lasky would be their nominee.
Republicans are excited about the prospects of Hogan. Hogan is a trial lawyer and school board member serving since 2006. One republican consultant thought Hogan was the most qualified candidate the GOP could hope for saying he’s been on the ballot before, he’s articulate and can raise money.

"As of 12:01 AM on December 3rd, which just passed, we're at an interesting moment provided for in the New Hampshire Constitution.
The New Hampshire Legislature right now doesn't exist. The terms of all 424 members of the NH House and Senate to which they were elected in November of 2006 have expired, and the newly-elected 424 members who won on November 4th, 2008 will be sworn in at 10:00 AM later this morning."

GOP Pick-up
This is a GOP pick-up in November! Dennis Hogan did way better then anyone expected against Foster (being severely outspent) and will beat Lasky. Unlike his opponent, he is a nice person and people really like dealing with him.
