Former House Speaker Terie Norelli, D-Portsmouth, said Democrats currently won 217 seats, Republican 177 with six races still not decided.
CONCORD – House Speaker William O'Brien won reelection to the House, but he will not be reelected as speaker as Democrats appear to have a majority in the lower chamber.
Former House Speaker Terie Norelli, D-Portsmouth, said Democrats currently won 217 seats, Republican 177 with six races still not decided.
“I always thought we had an outside chance of taking back the majority,” she said this morning. “Whether or not it happened . . . would depend a little bit on the coattails from the top of the ticket.”
Norelli and Nashua Rep. David Campbell are expected to seek the Democratic nomination to be speaker in their caucus which is scheduled for Nov. 17.
