Days after State Sen. Erin Hennessey, R-Littleton, announced she will not be seeking reelection, a state representative from Coos County has announced his candidacy for the New Hampshire Senate seat. On Friday, three-term State Rep. Troy Merner, R-Lancaster, outlined his goals if elected and highlighted the legislation he has advanced this year as a state representative and what he would support if he becomes the next senator of Senate District-1, which encompasses all of Coos County and towns in northern Grafton County.
