OSSIPEE — Last Thursday, Republican candidates Dale Fincher and Dallas Emery offered different approaches to winning the Carroll County House District 7 seat now occupied by Bobbi Boudman (D-Wolfeboro), with Fincher emphasizing an organized campaign and Emery stressing his experience in local government.
The two Republicans are competing for the House seat representing Ossipee, Tuftonboro and Wolfeboro. The winner will face Wolfeboro Democrat Karen Burnett-Kurie in November.
