Fiorina Returns To New Hampshire

Allegra Boverman for NHPR

 

Former technology executive Carly Fiorina is returning to New Hampshire as she campaigns for the Republican presidential nomination.

Fiorina, the former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard Co., is speaking at the President's Circle Leadership Forum at Rivier University on Tuesday. Following that event in Nashua, she'll head to a luncheon hosted by the Derry GOP and a house party in Bedford.

The only woman in the GOP field, Fiorina is making her business background a key part of her campaign, saying she is a problem solver with a track record to prove it. She was fired from HP in 2005, however, after a stormy tenure.
