New Hampshire Public Radio | By Laura Knoy

Published October 11, 2012 at 9:00 AM EDT

She's been a business attorney, a state Senator, Senate Majority Leader and now the Exeter lawyer, Maggie Hassan wants to be your next Governor. Hassan defeated Jackie Cilley and Bill Kennedy in the state primary this September to be the Democratic Gubernatorial candidate but still needs to get through her Republican challenger, Manchester attorney, Ovide Lamontagne. Today we sit down for the hour with Maggie Hassan, talk with her about where she stands on the big issues facing the state and why she says she'd be the best next person to sit in the State House corner office.

Guest

Maggie Hassan - Democratic Gubernatorial candidate. She's an Exeter based attorney and has served as State Senator as well as the Senate's Majority Leader.
