With Election Day less than two weeks away, incumbent New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte and Democratic nominee Cinde Warmington on Thursday pitched childcare providers on why they are the best candidate to improve childcare.
During a forum hosted by Early Learning New Hampshire and Save the Children Action Network, candidates were given the opportunity to respond live or by pre-recorded video to questions asked ahead of the event. Warmington attended the meeting and answered questions live. Ayotte did not attend but submitted written responses that were read aloud. More than 90 people from the childcare community attended the virtual event.
