NASHUA – City Clerk Paul Bergeron expects about 400 residents to turn out to vote Tuesday to elect a new state representative in Ward 4.
Starting at 6 a.m. at Ledge Street Elementary School, they’ll get to choose between Republican Elizabeth Van Twuyver, who is re-running for the District 31 House seat after falling short in November, and Democrat Pam Brown, who is new to the race.
Whoever wins Tuesday will fill the seat left vacant in Concord when ex-State Rep. elect Stacie Laughton – who would’ve been the state’s first openly transgendered lawmaker – relinquished her post after news surfaced that she had committed several felonies as Barry Charles Laughton Jr. in 2008.
State law prohibits convicted felons from running for or holding office until their final discharge from prison.
