ROCHESTER — Carol Shea-Porter, the District 1 congresswoman from Rochester who is stepping down after six terms, was feted by her own — the Rochester, Milton, Farmington Democrats, the Strafford County Democrats, the New Hampshire Democratic Party and the Rochester Historical Society — at the historic Governor’s Inn in downtown Rochester on Saturday afternoon.
Among those on hand to offer accolades was her Democratic heir apparent, Chris Pappas of Manchester.
