In 2016 news, Vermont’s Senator Bernie Sanders launched his campaign in Burlington and headed straight for New Hampshire, and  former New York Governor George Pataki made his candidacy official in Exeter.

We also look into a study which foundSenators Jeanne Shaheen and Kelly Ayotte among the mostly likely to work across party lines.
