CONWAY — Three familiar faces will head to Concord in January to represent Carroll County District 2 in the New Hampshire House, one, Karen Umberger, will be returning after a two-year absence after falling victim to the Democratic blue wave in 2018.
Umberger (R-Conway) finished third out of six candidates to win one of the three seats that serve Conway, Eaton, Chatham and Hale's Location.
