On June 30th, U.S. Sen Kelly Ayotte kicked off her campaign for a second term in office at an event in Manchester, telling a rally of supporters of her record as a bipartisan leader in Congress. The announcement comes 17 months before the 2016 election, making it an unusually early start to a campaign. 

Some pundits speculated that the early timing of Ayotte’s announcement was a reaction to Gov. Maggie Hassan’s rumored interest in running for the Senate seat. Hassan has previously stated she will not make a decision on a Senate run until NH budget matters are settled, a process that may take several more months. 

Ayotte refuted speculations that she is a potential contender for a VP nomination. “I am 100 percent running for re-election for the United States Senate,” she stated.
