Hodes set to travel outside district

By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com Reporter

Two days after he said he is "seriously considering" running for the U.S. Senate in 2010, U.S. Rep. Paul Hodes (D-Concord) has announced that he will be visiting an endangered call center outside of his congressional district.

Hodes' congressional office announced on Wednesday that Hodes will visit the AT&T call center in Dover on Thursday. AT&T announced last week that it will close the call center because the State Department has not renewed a contract with AT&T and the company will now have to lay off the center's 300 employees.

Buckley: Gregg’s record encourages ‘all potential candidates’

By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com Reporter

New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley said that current U.S. Sen. Judd Gregg's (R-Rye) legislative record "should encourage all potential candidates" to run against Gregg in 2010.

"Judd Gregg's record of enabling George Bush to run the country into the ditch should encourage all potential candidates," Buckley said in a statement on Tuesday. "Congressman Hodes along with Congresswoman Shea-Porter, Governor Lynch and a number of other Democrats would do a much better job for New Hampshire in the senate."

Cullen calls Hodes ‘arrogant’

By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com Reporter

New Hampshire Republican Party Chairman Fergus Cullen said that U.S. Rep. Paul Hodes (D-Concord) is demonstrating a "certain arrogance" by thinking about running for the U.S. Senate in 2010.

"At a time when so many NH residents are hoping they'll get power back, Paul Hodes has another sort of power on his mind," Cullen wrote in an email to PolitickerNH.com. "It takes a certain arrogance to campaign for re-election, win, and immediately talk about running for another office before you're even sworn in to the office you just won."

By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com Reporter

MANCHESTER--Gov. John Lynch (D-Hopkinton) dodged a question about whether or not he would challenge U.S. Sen. Judd Gregg (R-Rye) in 2010.

Coming off a historic win in November, Lynch's name is often mentioned as a possible candidate against Gregg, who said the day after the election that he planned on running for another term.

"I haven't even been sworn-in for my third term," Lynch told reporters. "We need to work together to pass a budget and deal with the current economic challenges the state is facing."
