It was standing room only Wednesday evening at The Rex Theater in Manchester when Mayor Joyce Craig officially announced her candidacy for governor.
In addition, in response to the statewide increase in homelessness, Mayor Joyce Craig, along with seven other Mayors across the State of New Hampshire, made requests to the state.
Mayors from eight cities – from Berlin to Manchester to Claremont, Somersworth and beyond – have again appealed to Gov. Chris Sununu for help assisting unhoused people after a tragic holiday week that saw two homeless people die and a woman give birth in a tent during freezing cold weather.
Manchester Police spokesman Heather Hamel confirmed there was a large fight and stabbing behind the old police department at 351 Chestnut St. That’s near the Families in Transition shelter at 199 Manchester St.
On Dec. 21, advocates gathered outside the State House in Concord to remember 93 homeless people who died in 2022 in New Hampshire, not knowing two more deaths would be added to the list during Christmas week in Manchester.
A woman died in a tent outside Families in Transition in Manchester on Christmas Day and a woman who gave birth to a baby in the woods is the daughter of famed baseball pitcher Dennis Eckersley.
On Saturday, on Elm Street in Manchester, Mary N. Georges hosted, “Time for Tea with the Ladies of ‘Victory Women of Vision’: A Celebration of Our Mothers and Daughters.”
