The Democratic National Committee commissioned an “autopsy” of the party’s losses in 2024, and while much of the draft report centers on Kamala Harris’ failed presidential bid, it also includes criticisms of Joyce Craig’s unsuccessful campaign for New Hampshire governor.
Shortly after Chris Pappas announced his victory on Tuesday, New Hampshire Democratic gubernatorial candidate Joyce Craig took assembled Democrats a the Puritan Conference Center in the opposite direction, congratulating Republican opponent Kelly Ayotte on her expected triumph in what had been the most contested gubernatorial contest in the country.
In one of the last campaign events of this election cycle, Congressman Chris Pappas, gubertanorial candidate Joyce Craig, and other candidates met with members of the Nepalese immigrant community. The event was held at the Dancing Yeti Bar & Grill in Manchester.
Vote for Joyce Craig – she knows the difference between right and wrong, and she stands by her love for New Hampshire and her country. Kelly Ayotte cannot be trusted to be beholden to Trump’s adoption of the far right, dark Republican Project 25 agenda and potential self-proclaiming dictatorship.
As the campaign to see who will become New Hampshire’s next governor comes to a close, New Hampshire’s largest city has become a focal point in the campaign, leading local leaders to have differing opinions on what that exactly means for the reputation of Manchester in the eyes of other Granite Staters.
As election day draws near, more people like Martin and Urban already know who they’re voting for on Nov. 5. Others remain undecided, which is why Craig, the former mayor of Manchester, and Ayotte, a former U.S. Senator, doubled down on policy points and lobbed attacks at each other on the debate stage at Saint Anselm College Thursday.
The charter revision was never adopted, but the city’s Board of Mayor and Alderman did subsequently approve a long-overdue salary bump for the person who captured the mayoralty in 2023, a bit of nuance the Ayotte campaign fails to note in its TV spot, thereby intentionally creating the false impression that Craig was feathering her own nest despite never receiving a raise as mayor.
Joyce Craig and Kelly Ayotte made many economic differences between them clear during a debate Tuesday. Ayotte, the Republican gubernatorial nominee, applauded the elimination of the interest and dividends tax next year, while Craig, the Democratic nominee, said the cut, passed by lawmakers, amounted to a tax cut for the wealthy.
Democratic candidate for governor and former Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig and current Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess have often joined together to tackle issues facing their respective cities.

A recent survey conducted by the Saint Anselm College Survey Center (SACSC) at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics (NHIOP) shows Republican Kelly Ayotte with a slight advantage as she enters the general election.

Both candidates have seen declines in popularity following negative primary campaigns, with Ayotte holding a 45%-50% favorability and Craig at 37%-36%.
In a race that was almost too close for comfort, Joyce Craig pulled out a win over her opponent, Cinde Warmington.
Ink Link Assistant Editor Andrew Sylvia caught up with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Joyce Craig at her home polling place on Tuesday.
We are proud of our service for the City of Manchester. We aren’t the same ages, we have varied backgrounds, and we have different priorities, but one thing unites us: We love Manchester and are proud to call it home.
I am a lifelong Republican who has supported Kelly Ayotte in the past, but not again!
Jon Kiper wants to make structural changes to our tax system. He has a plan to support our public schools and social services while simultaneously lowering property taxes.
In addition to the phenomenal works she put forth, Manchester has a tremendous growth in its economy during her first stint in the office.
