OUR ENVIRONMENT NEEDS MORE LOCAL REPORTING
The Concord Monitor is launching its Environmental Reporting Lab, a long-term effort to better inform the community about the New Hampshire environment. To launch phase 1 of this effort, we need your help. The money raised will go toward hiring a full-time environmental reporter.

Frank Guinta has won the Republican nomination in New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District and will face Democrat Carol Shea-Porter for a third time in November.
In unofficial results, Guinta defeated Portsmouth businessman Dan Innis and two lesser-known candidates yesterday, while Shea-Porter was unopposed in her primary. She was first elected in 2006, lost to Guinta in 2010 and then defeated him in 2012 to regain the seat.
Innis, a Portsmouth hotel owner and a former University of New Hampshire administrator, was making his first run for elected office.
He criticized Guinta as a career politician, saying sending the same people to Washington repeatedly and expecting better results isn’t working.
But Guinta, a former state lawmaker, alderman and mayor, said he was proud of his long history of public service.
