With the Republican caucuses in Iowa now scheduled for Jan. 3, speculation is increasing that New Hampshire might seek a jump on everyone by scheduling its first-in-the-nation primary for December. Secretary of State William Gardner has yet to announce his intentions, but Republicans and Democrats, including Gov. John Lynch, have said they will abide by [...]
Not that it’s been all smooth sailing for Niki Tsongas. This morning (Friday), the Democratic candidate moved quickly to distance herself from comments supporter Chet Atkins made to the Associated Press implying that Republican Jim Ogonowski’s stand on immigration was motivated by racism and would not have been supported by his brother, John, who was [...]
The Tsongas camp may be counting the hours until Jim Ogonowski states whether he would vote to override President Bush’s veto of the SCHIP expansion bill, but many 5th District voters are no doubt counting the days — now down to four — until the campaign for Marty Meehan’s seat is over. If she wins [...]
Andover state Rep. Barry Finegold describes him as “the greatest president of my generation,” and Democratic congressional candidate Niki Tsongas is hoping others in the 5th District feel the same way about former President Bill Clinton.

Niki will be suspending her personal campaign activities until further notice. Campaign Spokesperson Katie Elbert made the [...]
This just in: The Niki Tsongas campaign announced this afternoon that former President Bill Clinton will make an appearance on behalf of the 5th District congressional candidate during a Sunday, Sept. 30 rally at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium. Wonder if Republican Jim Ogonowski has any plans to bring either of the George Bushes to the [...]
Incumbent mayors throughout the North of Boston region had to be happy with the results of Tuesday’s preliminary elections. Elected chief executives in Haverhill, Newburyport, Amesbury, and Beverly all scored convincing wins in their respective preliminary elections. The mayors of Methuen and Peabody have lone opponents they will face in the Nov. 6 election, while [...]
Republican Jim Ogonowski is out with an apology — and a shot at his Democratic opponent. Responding to Niki Tsongas’ demand that he repudiate comments made by Republican leader David Boehner regarding the “small price” Americans are paying to achieve its goals in Iraq, Ogonowski did just that Tuesday.
