VIDEO: Shea-Porter Makes Rematch Official

Candidate says she's ready to face U.S. Rep. Frank Guinta again.

Former congresswoman was at the on June 6, signing up for a rematch with U.S. Rep. , R-Manchester.

Surrounded by a hallway full of supporters, she said this race would be different than 2010, since there had been two years of Republicans not creating jobs and not compromising on legislation to move the country forward.

During a short interview, she called on Guinta to join her in asking SuperPACs to stay off the air in New Hampshire, not unlike the agreement that candidates in the U.S. Senate race in Massachusetts reached earlier in their race. She said it was a “good idea” by U.S. Sen. Scott Brown, R-MA, and she and Guinta should do the same.

Shea-Porter and her supporters then joined other Democrats in the Statehouse cafeteria for refreshments.
