Tomorrow voters in Manchester will choose a new Mayor.
And the candidates have been spending more money in the 11th hour after a few key issues moved to front and center.
NHPR's Dianne Finch has more.
Republican incumbent Mayor Frank Guinta and his Democratic rival, attorney Tom Donovan, are both spending more money on direct mailings and advertising as attacks against each other intensify.
According to the latest filings, Guinta has spent about $52 thousand since the September primary, and Donovan has spent about $6 thousand more than his rival.
Manchester Deputy City Clerk Carol Johnson said that both candidates have been selling their views on two main issues: crime and public education.
"Taxes is always an issue, but those are the real two heavy hitters this time, one saying that not enough has been done and the other saying that their record stands. That's been the real battle going on in the background."
Johnson added that concerns over crime rates and the fact that several schools in Manchester aren't meeting testing criteria under No Child Left Behind are helping to fuel the debates.
