Sun Publisher Mark Guerringue and reporter Daymond Steer recently interviewed N.H. House of Representatives District 7 Republican write-in candidates Jenna Dancy and Dale Fincher. District 7 is a floterial seat covering Wolfeboro, Tuftonboro and Ossipee. Former Rep. Glenn Cordelli moved out of the district, leaving the seat open. There will be a primary Jan. 20 and a general election March 10. On the ballot are Republicans Dallas Emery and Seamas Oscalaidhe and Democrat Bobbi Boudman who is running unopposed. Â
Mark Guerringue: Dale, let’s start with you. Tell us about yourself and why you’re running.
