NH Gov. Ayotte taps campaign cash to troll NYC’s Mamdani with billboard luring city biz north
Most often found antagonizing her neighbors across the border in the Bay State, New Hampshire Gov Kelly Ayotte is broadening her horizons.
On Wednesday, the Granite State’s Republican chief executive dipped into her campaign funds to send a billboard around Manhattan encouraging businesses to move north, WMUR-TV reported.
The PR campaign came the day after Zohran Mamdani, the Big Apple’s new Democratic Socialist mayor-elect, romped to victory over former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who had the backing of President Donald Trump.
“So we’re saying welcome, please come to New Hampshire. You’ll have more freedom, lower taxes, and an awesome quality of life,” Ayotte said, according to the station.
Among the messages was one that called New Hampshire “safe, prosperous, free … what New York used to be.”
New Hampshire Democrats were less than enthused, according to the station.
“Those ads would be costing thousands of dollars, and obviously not a big deal for Kelly Ayotte in her campaign. But the timing seems to me a little bit strange, given the food SNAP benefit cut that a lot of Granite Staters are dealing with,” Democratic gubernatorial hopeful Jon Kiper said, according to WMUR-TV.
State Democratic Chairperson Ray Buckley fired back, saying that “unfortunately, Ayotte is nothing but a pathetic political opportunist who is using our state as a billboard prop to serve her own interests,” the station reported.

BOW, NH — Bow police and fire and rescue teams were sent to a crash on Sunday afternoon, not far from a previous crash earlier this month.
At 2:30 p.m., Concord Fire Alarm reported a crash involving multiple vehicles not far from the intersection of Page Road and Clinton Street. About 10 minutes later, a battalion commander told dispatch there were three vehicles involved and two patients were being evaluated. Dispatch asked if EMTs needed a retone for an engine, and the commander said, “Yeah, why don’t you send them.”
News 603 posted a video from the crash scene on Facebook, linked here.
Just before 3 p.m., EMTs cleared the scene after reporting the patients refused transport.
The crash site was not far from a crash on May 1 that sent one driver to Concord Hospital. In July 2024, a fatal motorcycle accident, which took the life of Joseph Kasper of Weare, occured not far from the location of Sunday’s crash.
Not long after, Concord Fire and Rescue teams were sent to a downed tree on Merrimack Street by School Street.
The tree was knocked down after a small storm moved through the region around 2:45 p.m.

Join us for a community conversation exploring how land conservation supports thriving communities, healthy ecosystems, and local economies. Recent research from Maine highlights the growing economic value of conserved lands — from supporting recreation, forestry, agriculture, and tourism to protecting clean water, storing carbon, and strengthening climate resilience. The findings reveal something important: protecting natural landscapes is not only good for the environment, but also for the people and communities that depend on them.
Together, we’ll explore what this research means both regionally and here at home. How do conserved lands shape our quality of life, local economy, and sense of place? How can communities balance growth, conservation, and long-term sustainability? And what role can each of us play in protecting the landscapes that support both nature and people?
At each “Let’s Talk Nature” gathering, we share a short article in advance and come together for an informal, welcoming discussion. Each session stands on its own, and everyone is welcome. No expertise needed. Bring your curiosity and a willingness to listen and share. Drinks and cookies provided.
