The major party candidates for governor of New Hampshire wasted no time going after each other in their first debate of the general election Wednesday.Republican Kelly Ayotte and Democrat Joyce Craig tangled early and often in the debate before the Nashua Chamber of Commerce."Mayor Craig proposed a tax increase every year in office," Ayotte said."Senator Ayotte does not understand what's happening within the state and within our local communities," Craig said.>> Download the free WMUR app to get updates on the go: Apple | Google Play <<Craig attacked Ayotte on the issue of abortion access."We cannot trust her to make sure that women in our state have access to reproductive health care," Craig said. "I'm the only candidate in this race who will protect and expand reproductive health care in New Hampshire."Ayotte said she would protect current New Hampshire law."I'll veto anything that comes to my desk that is more restrictive when it comes to women's rights," she said. "In the United States Senate, I fought for more access to mammograms, over-the-counter contraception for women, supporting preventative care."Libertarian candidate Stephen Villee also participated in the debate. He said he wants to dismantle state government and secede from the union."And I want to maintain the same excellent relations with the United States that Monaco has with France," he said.Ayotte targeted Craig on the issue of immigration."I don't think we should go the way of Massachusetts that has spent almost $1 billion housing illegal immigrants," Ayotte said. "So, we should not be a sanctuary state. That's really a difference between me and Mayor Craig."Craig said she would not support making New Hampshire a sanctuary state."New Hampshire is not a sanctuary state, and it will not be a sanctuary state when I am governor," she said.Neither candidate is backing down, and there are another four debates still on the calendar."I will just underscore that you cannot trust what Kelly Ayotte is saying," Craig said. "She is saying anything to be elected.""If Joyce Craig makes it to that corner office in Concord, we can kiss the New Hampshire advantage goodbye," Ayotte said.
