CONWAY — Three Democratic gubernatorial candidates spoke Monday to about 85 people at the North Conway Community Center. Carroll County Democrats sponsored the event, which featured former Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig, District 2 Executive Councilor Cinde Warmington of Concord and Newmarket Town Councilor John Kiper. The primary is Sept. 10 and the general election Nov. 5.
Craig and Warmington took aim at the woman they called their “rival,” ex-U.S. Sen. Kelly Ayotte, who holds a wide lead over fellow Republican Chuck Morse.
