CONCORD, N.H. – Two-term Democratic Gov. Maggie Hassan launched a U.S. Senate bid Monday in a move likely to pit her against Republican incumbent Kelly Ayotte in November 2016.
Hassan launched her campaign stressing her bipartisan approach to problem solving and criticizing the federal government for letting special interests hold sway, without singling out Republicans or Democrats, or mentioning Ayotte.
If I told you a federal court recently ruled that a 60-year-old statue of Jesus may remain on public property, I'm guessing you'd be surprised. After all, you may have heard some people argue that a crèche at the courthouse or a Star of David on a Holocaust memorial violate the First Amendment's prohibition on government establishment of religion.
