Four candidates have entered the Republican race for Congress in the First Congressional District.
Two are probably long shots. They are Dave Jarvis of Hooksett and Geoff Michael of Merrimack.
The other two candidates are engaging in a rematch of sorts from the Republican race in 2002. Former Congressman Jeb Bradley won that primary among eight candidates, and then went on to serve two terms in the U.S. House. He’s facing off this year against former Health and Human Services Commissioner John Stephen, who came in second in that race six years ago.
Now the two are facing off again, for the chance to face incumbent Congresswoman Carol Shea Porter in November.
New Hampshire Public Radio’s David Darman has more.
