State Senator Kathy Sgambati (D-Tilton) has decided to run for re-election.

"The voters of District 4 trusted me to represent them and I have worked hard to honor that trust. I first ran for office to increase access to affordable health care, to protect New Hampshire's natural assets and to support small businesses," Sgambati said in a press release. "We have made substantial progress on all of these fronts."

"There is more that needs to be done" Sgambati added. "I am seeking reelection to continue to our progress on economic development, education and health care while working to help address growing budget concerns. I look forward to working with Governor Lynch and the Senate to meet the needs of District 4 and the state."

Sgambati currently has no Republican opposition.

She represents Senate District 4 which covers Laconia, Tilton, Barnstead, New Durham, Gilford, Belmont, Gilmanton and Strafford.
