New Hampshire Democrats convention in Stratham Saturday
STRATHAM -- For the first time in more than a quarter of a century, the New Hampshire Democratic Party is bringing its annual convention to the Seacoast at Cooperative Middle School on Saturday.
Longtime state party chairman Ray Buckley noted “it’s the first time we’ve held a Seacoast convention since we held it at the UNH campus in Durham in 1992.”
State Sen. Martha Fuller Clark of Portsmouth, the party’s first vice-chair, said “it’s wonderful that they’ve decided to come to the Seacoast for this very important convention in the year that we need so hard to get the vote out everywhere.” Fuller Clark said having the convention in the Seacoast could pay dividends in November’s elections.
“We’ve always had a strong base on the Seacoast,” she said. “The challenge is to develop our support throughout Rockingham County and this will certainly raise the profile of the Democratic Party in this part of the state.”
