Democrat Emmett Soldati is running against Republican and incumbent Joe Kenney to be the District 1 Executive Councilor. Councilors are elected every two years and “serve as advocates of the people,” a posting on council.nh.gov notes. Five councilors are elected to this multi-tasked board, which oversees state departments’ spending as allocated by the Legislature.
The board approves the appointment of judges, commissioners, notary public justice of peace, commissioners of deeds and hears pardon requests. Also, the council oversees and manages the state’s 10-year Highway Plan.
