CONWAY — In 2006, Maura Sullivan went door-to-door around the Granite State campaigning for Carol Shea-Porter. Eight years later, she hopes to replace her in Washington as representative from the 1st Congressional District.
Shea-Porter (D-Rochester) announced last October she would not seek re-election.
