CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Jeb Bush sought to revive a sagging campaign for president in New Hampshire on Tuesday, committing anew to a state with deep ties to his family. He'll start from a position of weakness that some family loyalists say is of his own making.
Eager to distinguish himself from his family legacy at the outset of his 2016 bid, Bush failed to tap the support of many longtime friends in the state. Many in the old Bush network now say they've picked another candidate to support or are staying out of the primary process altogether.
BOSTON — Charles Yancey, the longest-serving Boston city councilor, and veteran at-large member Stephen J. Murphy lost their seats to newcomers Andrea Campbell and Annissa Essaibi George in municipal elections on Tuesday that brought voters to the polls in the Hub and more than 50 other communities statewide.
Yancey, first elected in 1983, has often beat back challengers but this year his opponent showed early signs of strength, handily beating the 66-year-old District Four councilor as well as other candidates. Campbell defeated Yancey by a 3-2 margin, unofficial results show.
