President To Visit Nashua

 

President Obama will travel to Nashua Thursday to talk about the economy. It will be his first trip to the state since November, when he visited Manchester Central high school to promote extending the payroll tax cut as part of a jobs bill.

The trip come a week after Vice President Joe Biden stumped for the President’s reelection at the New Hampshire Institute for Art. Biden was on a three-state jaunt raising money for Democrats.

President Obama carried NH comfortably in the 2008 general election but the state is expected to be a battleground in November, particularly if former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney is the Republican nominee.

I cover campaigns, elections, and government for NHPR. Stories that attract me often explore New Hampshire’s highly participatory political culture. I am interested in how ideologies – doctrinal and applied – shape our politics. I like to learn how voters make their decisions and explore how candidates and campaigns work to persuade them.
