Jun. 9—Maggie Hassan plans to come to Keene Friday after filing for re-election to the U.S. Senate.

Hassan, a Democrat, is seeking her second term in the Senate and was New Hampshire's governor from 2013 to 2017.

She will meet with supporters at about 4 p.m. at the offices of the OrganizeNH Democratic group, at 421 Winchester St., her office said.

This visit comes two months after Hassan participated in a workforce development roundtable at Keene State College, where she met with local education, community and business leaders.

Friday marks the end of the 10-day candidate filing period in New Hampshire. The state primary will be on Sept. 13, and the general election will be on Nov. 8.

Hassan faces Democratic challenger Paul J. Krautmann of Keene in the primary, and there is a crowded field of Republicans seeking her Senate seat.
