Clinton To Visit Seacoast Area In Second New Hampshire Trip

NHPR Staff

 

In her second visit to New Hampshire since announcing her presidential campaign, Hillary Rodham Clinton plans to visit the Seacoast area Friday for campaign events focused on small businesses.

Her campaign says she will visit Smuttynose Brewery in Hampton for a discussion with community members focused on business regulations, taxes and growing a small business. In the afternoon, Clinton will attend an organizing meeting with campaign supporters in Exeter. The campaign has not released details on the location of the Exeter event.

The structure of the trip is similar to Clinton's first visit, when she participated in organized, small discussions and attended several house parties with supporters. Her trip to New Hampshire follows a recent visit to Iowa, the first caucus state.
