TUFTONBORO — State representative candidates Karen Burnett-Kurie and Dale Fincher, both of Wolfeboro, took part in a well-attended candidate forum in Tuftonboro last week.
More than 100 people were at the event last Wednesday at the Tuftonboro library. The District 7 seat representing Ossipee, Tuftonboro and Wolfeboro, is currently held by Bobbi Boudman (D-Wolfeboro), who is running for state Senate.
