CONWAY — GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy gave a well-attended town hall at the North Conway Community Center on Sunday to a crowd estimated by MWV Republican Committee chair Jerry Goodrich as numbering around 250.
The stop followed Ramaswamy’s first visit to the valley April 15 when the Carroll County Republican Committee hosted him at the White Mountain Hotel and Resort.
