GOFFSTOWN — The state’s housing and homeless crisis and illegal immigration were among the top issues addressed by Republican gubernatorial candidates Kelly Ayotte of Nashua and Chuck Morse of Salem, who took to the airwaves live Tuesday night for the first of four nights of debates sponsored by WMUR-TV at Saint Anselm College.
Voters will go to the polls next Tuesday to pick their choices for nominees in both the Democratic and Republican parties.
