After serving as a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives from 1984 to 1992, Deborah “Arnie” Arnesen became the first major party female nominee for governor of New Hampshire. According to the Institute of Politics at Harvard University, she got more votes in that election than any other Democratic candidate in New Hampshire’s history. Then, in 1996, she ran for the 105th U.S. Congress from New Hampshire’s Second District.
Arnesen has also been a Harvard Institute of Politics fellow, a poverty worker, a TV talk show host, a writer for the Boston Globe New Hampshire, a regular on New England Cable News (NECN) and the MSNBC talk show “Hardball,” and, since 2012, the host of the public affairs radio show and podcast “The Attitude with Arnie Arnesen.”
