Following the event, Connolly will be available for questions and interviews.

Connolly, according to the campaign, is a New Hampshire native, business leader, and public servant with more than 35 years of experience "fighting for Granite State families." A Bedford native, Connolly worked his way through Dartmouth College and business school. In 1976, as an undergraduate, he was elected to the New Hampshire House of Representatives, where he became close with longtime Upper Valley Democrat Rep. Elizabeth Crory. In order to continue funding his education, Connolly found work with the Army Corps of Engineers on the remote North Slope of Alaska thanks to Crory and her husband, Fred.

Following a successful career in business, Connolly returned to public service in 2002 as the Deputy Secretary of State and Director of the Bureau of Securities Regulation, gaining a national reputation for fighting corporate greed, taking on big banks, and helping force the resignation of the Tyco corporate board for wrongdoing.

Driven by the core belief that every Granite Stater deserves a fair chance to succeed, Connolly believes that by working together we can build a future where government works for all of us, according to the campaign.
