Congressional Candidate Fixes Glaring Error

CONCORD, NH — A congressional candidate in New Hampshire has quickly updated a campaign logo that featured an inaccurate silhouette of her new home state. Democrat Maura Sullivan is among at least five candidates hoping to succeed Democratic U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter, who's stepping down after her term ends. The Boston Globe reports that Sullivan launched her campaign Monday with a logo featuring her first name in red next to a silhouette of the state in blue, but thanks to white space around her name, a chunk of New Hampshire's southwest corner was cut off.

The mistake was fixed by Tuesday. (For more information on this and other neighborhood stories, subscribe to Portsmouth NH Patch to receive daily newsletters and breaking news alerts. Like Portsmouth NH Patch on Facebook)

Sullivan is a former Marine and Iraq war veteran who moved to New Hampshire in June. She declined to comment to the Globe. Her campaign did not return an email seeking comment.
