📰 News we're reading

• John E. Sununu's path back to the Senate runs through a very different New Hampshire (bostonglobe.com) — Bedford's changing politics and demographics are putting the town at the center of a razor-thin U.S. Senate race between John E. Sununu and Chris Pappas. Once a reliable Republican stronghold, Bedford has trended more competitive, drawing high-profile campaign visits and making local voters a key factor in which party controls the Senate.
