Manchester Republican State Senator Ted Gatsas is the number one target for the Manchester Democrats.

When asked if Gatsas is the Democrats number one target in the fall, Pappas said "absolutely."

Pappas added that Gatsas "is out of step with the voters."

The Manchester Democrats will also continue to press Manchester Mayor Frank Guinta. Guinta is contemplating a run for governor.
