Do what's best for New Hampshire on housing crisis

Craig, who lives in Manchester, served as mayor of her city for six years. Prior to that, she served as a member of Manchester's school board and alderman.

Craig voted at 7:30 a.m. before hitting the road to visit polling locations across New Hampshire. "I have run marathons in the past. I ran 10 consecutive marathons, and there's a lot of training that goes into running a marathon. This is the finish, and we're going to finish strong and hope for the best," Craig said after casting her vote.

[One voter said] "I like her approach to the homeless problem and the affordable housing crisis." Craig said Ayotte will not do what's best for New Hampshire's residents given her track record on issues such as reproductive rights, healthcare, gun laws and housing. "I have always worked hard to address the challenges of residents in our state and I will continue to do that as Governor," Craig said. "Kelly Ayotte has not and we cannot trust her to do that."

Worked with developers to incentivize affordable housing

We're partnering with the National Alliance to End Homelessness and focusing on how to increase housing. There are more than 2,000 units in development in our city, including 500 affordable units. I've allocated $10 million to Manchester's affordable housing trust fund, worked directly with developers to incentivize affordable housing, and we're updating our zoning ordinances to allow more development.
