Democrat Bob Perry has won a special election held Tuesday to fill a vacant New Hampshire House seat, according to New Hampshire Democrats.

Perry, a former state rep, beat Republican opponent Honey Puterbaugh 2,110 to 1,517, according to numbers provided by the New Hampshire Democratic Party.

Perry took five of the six towns in Strafford County House District No. 3, a Republican-leaning district where the GOP will hold seven of the eight seats, Perry being the one exception.

The race is viewed as a bellwether on how the state is being run and a win for either candidate was viewed as a victory for their party.

2. No problem!

:hi:

“Bob Perry's victory tonight is a complete and total rejection of Republican House Speaker Bill O'Brien's reckless job-killing agenda,” said New Hampshire Democratic Party Chair Raymond Buckley. “In a historically Republican district, New Hampshire voters turned out in the middle of summer to send a loud and clear message to the out-of-control Republican majority. Its relentless attempts to make cigarettes cheaper but college more expensive, slash women's health care, and kill jobs by taxing hospitals must stop immediately. “

Would be a much bigger win if NH was trying to set state precedent on union busting, but a win is a win. :)
