CONCORD — It was a crazy busy day at the Secretary of State’s office Friday, the last of a 10-day stretch to file for office which saw former Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig, a Democrat file to run for governor.
Craig said she will concentrate on the state’s affordable housing crisis if elected and run on her record as an effective executive.
