PORTSMOUTH, NH - Tomorrow, Mark Connolly, a Democratic candidate for governor, will join Portsmouth Police Commissioner Joe Plaia at his home to converse with local voters.

The event will be held at 5:30 p.m. on April 13, 2016, at 93 Spinnaker Way in Portsmouth. It is open to the public (register to attend online here).

“Joe is a good friend, and I’m so pleased to have his support in this campaign,” said Connolly. “I’m looking forward to meeting with our fellow Seacoast voters and discussing how best we can work together to keep New Hampshire moving forward.”

Connolly, according to a press statement, is a New Hampshire native, business leader, and public servant with over 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, Mark 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, Mark believes that by working together we can build a future where government works for all of us," according to the campaign.
