MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Manchester Mayor Joyce Craig says she is seeking a third, two-year term. Craig, who was first elected in 2017 to lead New Hampshire’s largest city, told WMUR-TV she wants to see the city through the coronavirus pandemic and continue with some of the projects that had to be set aside during the pandemic.

She says she wants to build a city where people want to stay and grow their businesses. At least two other people have announced they are running for mayor:  Victoria Sullivan, a former state representative who lost to Craig in 2019, and Rich Girard, a former at-large school board member.
