Shea Porter Rises in Poll with Volunteer Help

By David Darman on Friday, November 3, 2006.

The latest UNH Granite State Poll shows Democrat Carol Shea Porter closing in on Republican Jeb Bradley's lead for the 1st district Congressional seat.

The poll gives Bradley a five point lead, at 47%, but it's a far cry from the 20 point lead he enjoyed earlier this fall.

Bradley has the benefits of incumbency and over a million dollar in contributions.

But Shea-Porter, with only a fraction of the funding, may have something Bradley lacks.

A Letter from Iraq: First Sgt Victor May

By Mark Bevis on Friday, November 3, 2006.

The 36-43rd Company of the New Hampshire National Guard is settling into its new duties.

The 150 men and women who make up the 36-43rd are currently stationed just outside Baghdad.

The maintenance company is providing security at a military prison at Camp Victory.

There they process prisoners, hold them and get them ready for trial.

Last week, NHPR's Mark Bevis spoke with the Commanding Officer, Captain Tony Gagnon, about the company's new mission.

This week we hear from the Company's First Sergeant Victor May.
