2 Candidates, Same Last Name

Howard Moffett and Michael Moffett among 4 candidates running for 2 seats in NH

Voters in Canterbury and Loudon, New Hampshire, almost will be seeing double when they get their ballots next month - two men with the same last name are hoping to represent the towns in the state House of Representatives.

Howard Moffett and Michael Moffett, who are not related, are among four candidates running for two seats in Merrimack County District 9.

Howard Moffett is a Canterbury Democrat seeking a second term. Michael Moffett is a Loudon Republican. They told the Concord Monitor that they hope voters take the time to educate themselves on the differences between all the candidates.

Loudon Democrat George Saunderson and Canterbury Republican Kenneth Kreis also are on the ballot.
