State Sen. Andrew Hosmer (D-Half Baked) lost his reelection on November 8th, and yesterday–during the recount–he lost it again. Our own lovely and talented Susan Olsen was there for the festivities, so perhaps she’ll share some insight, but for now we’ve got the Union Leader.
Republican challenger Harold French of Franklin hung onto his narrow victory over Democratic State Sen. Andrew Hosmer of Laconia.
Following an all-day recount of the ballots Wednesday, French defeated Hosmer by 17 votes.
The final count was 13,880-13,863.
Former District 7 State Sen. Andrew Hosmer can go back to selling cars and leave “the driving” to Harold French.
