Gen. Wesley Clark in Goffstown Oct. 20 for state representative candidates

GOFFSTOWN -- Retired four-star General Wesley Clark, candidatefor the Democratic presidential nomination in 2004, is coming to Goffstown on Friday, Oct. 20, for a reception to support the slate of Democratic candidates for the State House of Representatives.

The reception, at the Travers Village Eatery, 13 Main St., starts at 1 p.m. The event is open to everyone interested in the steadily strengthening Democratic campaign in Goffstown and Weare that promises to send more Democrats to Concord for 2007.

For the first time in many, many years, Democrats have put forward a full slate of candidates for eight seats in Hillsborough House District 7, which covers Goffstown and Weare. The candidates are Ivan E. Beliveau, Fay R. Greenberg, "Al" Packard, Mary Till, Denise Walderich, Barbara Barbour, Kelly Teevan and Donald Welch.

The presence of a figure of Gen. Clark's national and international stature underlines the importance of this year's race for the New Hampshire House. With a court-imposed deadline for a solution to the perennial education-funding mess looming July 1, all of the Democratic candidates have pledged themselves to working for a truly responsible solution to the problem. The Republican-dominated Legislature that has failed for more than two decades to solve this dilemma needs the balance of more Democrats for a bipartisan solution.
