Craig, the former mayor of Manchester, beat out Cinde Warmington, a former health care lobbyist and a member of the state’s Executive Council, in the Democratic primary.
Tuesday’s winners will quickly move into a rapid eight-week general election campaign to replace Republican Gov.
She held a wide lead in most polls of the GOP primary, allowing her to set her sights early on the general election.
Meanwhile, Maggie Goodlander defeated Colin Van Ostern in a contentious and expensive Democratic primary in New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District, the AP projected.
The winner of the primary will enter the general election as the favorite in the blue-leaning 2nd District.
