NH-02: Scramble is on for NH congressional seat after Kuster announcement [View all]
State Sen. Donovan Fenton, D-Keene, said in an interview Wednesday it is very early to predict who might run to succeed her in Congress.
Asked whether he would be interested in running, Fenton said, “There’s plenty of time for politics here and when you consider running for office, you really have to consider Annie’s legacy and consider that we do need genuine leaders to take up the mantle and get things done as she has. So to be asked about something like that is certainly something to give careful thought to.”
He praised Kuster for “bringing common-sense to Congress.”
“She’s led the way on protecting reproductive freedoms, became a national leader in the fight against the opioid crisis and has been tireless in her constituent services,” Fenton said.
Former Executive Councilor Colin Van Ostern, of Concord, a Democrat, who lost narrowly to Republican Chris Sununu in the 2016 governor’s race, might also be interested in running for Kuster’s seat.
