Description

Join us for the 2026 Gubernatorial Debate between Governor Kelly Ayotte and Cinde Warmington presented by Dartmouth Health. The candidates will address the issues shaping New Hampshire's future, including healthcare, housing, energy, infrastructure, the economy, and public policy.

Attendees will hear directly from both candidates about where they stand and how they plan to represent the priorities of our business community. Whether you're undecided or simply want to hear the issues discussed firsthand, you'll be better equipped to make an informed decision at the polls.

As a convener and educational resource for our region, the Chamber's debate programs are designed to connect the business community with candidates through a constructive, high-quality format. This debate will be held at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College and moderated by Scott Spradling. Doors open at 8:00 AM for check-in and networking, with the formal debate running from 8:30 to 9:30 AM.

These events tend to sell out, so early registration is strongly encouraged.

Questions for the candidates, or any general inquiries, can be submitted to Programs@Manchester-Chamber.org. Registered attendees will receive additional details as the event date approaches.
