Ovide LaMontagne at the Rye Republicans, March 10th, Talks Candidacy and Education (CACR12)

NH Gubernatorial candidate, Ovide LaMontagne, spoke to the Rye Republicans this morning on his candidacy. Topics covered included Ovide’s background, the NH constitution and education, the claremont decisions, and CACR12.
