CONWAY — Fresh off of learning she may have a slight lead in the primary, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Molly Kelly on Tuesday put her attention squarely on sitting Republican Gov. Chris Sununu. At a press conference in Concord, the Harrisville (near Keene) resident lashed out at Sununu, claiming he failed to protect vulnerable children in a new federal report on DCYF.

“We have a crisis before us at DCYF,” said Kelly. “This latest evidence is a heartbreaking reminder that the state of New Hampshire — led by Gov. Sununu — is failing too many vulnerable children. If we can give tax cuts to wealthy corporations, then we can fully fund DCYF. Every day that we don’t stand up and work to end this crisis is a day another child is at risk.”
