Nashua’s two state Senate seats are up for grabs this year.
Both incumbents, Senators Foster and Gottesman, have decided not to run again.
Senator Foster’s seat, District 13, is not likely to change party hands. It’s long been held by Democrats and the party’s candidate, Representative Bette Lasky, is well known and popular.
But it’s a different story in Nashua’s District 12, which includes parts of Nashua, as well as Hollis, Mason, and Brookline. There, voters have a choice among three candidates, and currently the race between two of them is close.
