The 18th District Senate Race this year is between incumbent Republican Sen. Andy Martel and his challenger Democratic State Representative Betsi DeVries.

And it's turning into one of the more hotly contested races this fall.

The district is divided fairly equally between Republicans and Democrats.

So both candidates are trying to reach as many voters as possible either by phone or in person.

NHPR Correspondent Debra Daigle reports from Manchester.

Banks' 1981 book explores the lives of the men and women who live in the fictional Granite State Trailerpark. They are widowers, divorcees, a black woman, a drug dealer, a homosexual... all outcasts in Banks' New Hampshire who together form their own community. For our final installment of Granite State Stories we’ll explore who the disenfranchised are today in New Hampshire through the pages of Russell Banks' "Trailerpark". This show will broadcast live at the Political Library Reading Room at the State Library Building in Concord. Admission is free and open to the public. Laura's guests are Russell Banks, author of 17 books including "Trailerpark" and David Watters, Professor of English at the University of New Hampshire and Director of its Center for New England Culture. David was also one of two project humanists for Granite State Stories.
