CONWAY — U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H) met with the Sun editorial board on Monday afternoon and spoke about the “unaccountable money” from Mitch McConnell’s Senate Leadership Fund Super PAC that is fueling the campaign of her Republican challenger, Don Bolduc.
Although many think Hassan is outraising Bolduc by a wide margin, Hassan said that’s not the case.
