• 2026 New Hampshire Federal, State, And County Candidates: Tell Patch Readers Why You Are Running (patch.com) — Hampton-area candidates running for federal, state, or county offices in 2026 are invited to share personalized statements with Patch readers, explaining their background and key issues. Submissions, including a photo, will appear on local Patch sites tied to each race and be featured in New Hampshire voter guides ahead of the November general election.
• Hampton oil heist: Three arrested in alleged used cooking oil restaurant thefts (wmur.com) — Several Hampton restaurants have had their used cooking oil stolen in a string of thefts that led local police to arrest three out-of-state men this week. Owners say the oil, which they usually sell to recyclers, helps cover operating costs, and one shared surveillance video to warn other Hampton-area businesses. Police are still investigating where the oil was going and suspect it may be used for biodiesel.
• 'Picking winners and losers': NH charitable gaming system faces calls for more oversight. No consensus exists (concordmonitor.com) — New Hampshire's booming charitable gaming industry is drawing scrutiny over how casinos choose and monitor the charities they support, with lawmakers debating modest reforms and stronger oversight. For Hampton residents, the former Aces + Eights casino site is cited among several locations expected to fuel continued growth. The discussion could shape how millions in gaming revenue are distributed to nonprofits statewide.
