JEANNE SHAHEEN WINS FINAL DEBATE OF CAMPAIGN, LAYS OUT CLEAR VISION FOR NEW DIRECTION IN STARK CONTRAST TO SUNUNU HALF-TRUTHS AND EXCUSES FOR FAILED RECORD

Tomorrow, Shaheen kicks off five-day barnstorm for a new direction for the final push to Election Day on Tuesday

(Manchester, NH) – In the final debate of the campaign, former Governor Jeanne Shaheen laid out a clear vision for a new direction, in stark contrast to Senator John Sununu's series of half-truths and excuses about his six years of supporting a failed economic agenda.

Before the U.S. Senate debate in Manchester, police arrested a man dressed in a duck costume outside the WMUR television studio.

The last debate between U.S. Sen. John Sununu (R-Waterville Valley) and former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen (D-Madbury) might be best remembered for how uneventful it was.

Shaheen attempted to tie Sununu to President Bush, while Sununu tried to separate himself from the Republican leadership.

HODES ECONOMIC DOUBLE SPEAK

NASHUA – At last night’s WMUR debate, Paul Hodes once again refused to accept any responsibility for the economic crisis, although he sits on the Financial Services Committee and saw the problem brewing two years ago. 

The candidates for the 2nd Congressional District seat participated in their final debate, which they used to spell out their differences on economic issues.

U.S. Rep. Paul Hodes (D-Concord), who is running for a second term against Jennifer Horn (R-Nashua), was criticized by Horn for not doing enough to deal with the economic crisis and said his accepting campaign donation from financial institutions has affected his voting record.

Senator DeVries Demonstrates Record of Fiscal Responsibility

Last night's debate proved once again that Senator Betsi DeVries is the only candidate in this race who is ready to deal with the serious problems facing New Hampshire families. Senator DeVries stressed the importance of maintaining a balanced budget in order to keep the burden from rolling onto the taxpayers. She acknowledged that tough decisions would have to be made in Concord during the next session. While Senator DeVries has already demonstrated her ability to provide thoughtful and responsible leadership, her opponent continued to tout vague plans to make drastic cuts while refusing to name one single program he would eliminate when asked directly by Senator DeVries.
