Kenney accused Lynch of bringing what he called Boston-style politics to the state.

He says New Hampshire deserves leaders who will stand up to special interests and keep spending under control.

In a year when many candidates are calling for ‘change,’ Kenney calls for a return to basic New Hampshire principles.

"The social fabric of this state is changing. Special interest is now in the corner office. This state, in the next couple of years, if we elect John Lynch again, will become an elitist state, and one that we can’t live in, because we will not be able to afford it."

Kenney vows, if elected, to pass a responsible budget and pro-family legislation.

Governor Lynch easily defeated challenger Katy Forry in the Democratic Primary.
