CONCORD — House Speaker Pro Tem Kimberly Rice (R-Hudson) announced on social media that she was “struggling to breath (sic)” with COVID-19 on Saturday as two special virus testing events for legislators, staff and families were held in the wake of House Speaker Dick Hinch’s death.
Rice was appointed by Hinch, 71, who died from COVID-19 at his Merrimack home Wednesday. An unknown number of legislators and staffers, including a member of Gov. Chris Sununu’s staff, have tested positive for the virus, but the state hasn’t said exactly who or how many except for identifying Hinch’s death as being COVID-19-related.
