Lynch Won't Run For Re-Election (Reid Wilson, September 15, 2011, Hotline)

New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch (D) will not seek a record fifth term, he announced Thursday morning , setting the stage for another toss-up governor's race in 2012.

"Democracy demands periodic change, to refresh and revive itself," Lynch said at a press conference in Manchester. "Democracy needs new leaders and new ideas."

"I think it's time for the next generation of leadership in New Hampshire," he added.
