Kuster tours downtown Nashua as she prepares for 2nd District rematch

NASHUA – The real campaign season started this week as the primary drew to a close.
But congressional candidate Ann McLane Kuster didn’t notice. She has been on the campaign trail for nearly 18 months.

Three days after the primary, Kuster, a Hopkinton Democrat who is once again challenging U.S. Rep. Charlie Bass in the 2nd Congressional District, brought her campaign to Nashua on Friday, greeting business owners and appearing at her 201st house party of the election season.

Now that Bass, a Peterborough Republican, survived a challenge Tuesday from four primary opponents, he and Kuster are set to square off in the Nov. 6 general election in a repeat of the 2010 race.

“We basically started up right after the last one,” said Kuster, who first declared for the race in the spring of 2011, months after she fell to Bass by about 3,500 votes, or 1.6 percent.

“We’ve been working at this for a while now, but we’re very happy with where we are,” she said during an interview Friday afternoon before she set out visiting local businesses. “The choice in this election is very, very clear.”
