Democrats Risk No Female Governor, First Time in 17 Years

Whether she wins or loses in the November general election to become New Hampshire’s next governor, Democrat Maggie Hassan will make history.
If Hassan, who won the party’s primary yesterday, is victorious on Nov. 6, she’ll become only the second woman elected to lead the 236-year-old state. A loss to her Republican challenger, Ovide Lamontagne, would leave Democrats without a female governor for the first time in 17 years.
