GOP's Fiorina Back In New Hampshire Campaigning

Allegra Boverman for NHPR

 

Former technology executive Carly Fiorina is campaigning across New Hampshire this week after announcing endorsements from more than a dozen state representatives.

Fiorina's campaign released a list of 13 New Hampshire endorsements on Monday, including Deputy House Speaker Gene Chandler.

Her visit to New Hampshire began Monday night at a house party in Londonderry and continues through Wednesday with several local events, another house party and a tour of a Milford business.

Fiorina is the only woman running in a field of more than a dozen declared or likely Republican presidential candidates. She has never held elected office and is making her business background a centerpiece of her campaign. She has also been forcefully criticizing Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton.
