CONWAY — U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas (D-N.H.) met last week with a small group of health-care advocates during a campaign stop in North Conway.
Pappas is running for U.S. Senate to replace U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), who is stepping down after serving since 2009. Also running for the seat is former U.S. Sen. John E. Sununu (R-N.H.), who served in the Senate from 2003-09.
