The Senate's newest candidate, Callahan, in race for the race's sake

By James W. Pindell, Politicker.com Editor

The Republican who emerged yesterday to challenge state Sen. Martha Fuller Clark in the heavily Democratic 24th Senate District says he is running to give voters a choice.

"It would be unfair to the voters and unfair to taxpayers and unlike New Hampshire to have a candidate go uncontested," said Chris Callahan, 38, who is in the Seafood import and export business.

After no one signed up to challenge Fuller Clark, a well-funded two-term incumbent, by last Friday's deadline, the state Republican Party recruited Callahan.
