Wyman ads escalate in NH Senate race amid legal threat
Republican Louis C. Wyman extends his hard hitting radio campaign against Democrat John A. Durkin as a deadline passes for ads to stop. Durkin vows to pursue action if needed while Wyman's camp opens contact between lawyers and Durkin’s attorney. New anti Durkin spots accuse him of taking large out of state labor money and call him ineffective as insurance commissioner. Durkin accuses the original spots of falsehoods about campaign donor loopholes and has filed donor lists with state officials.
