Former state Rep. Crane files to run for Congress in 2nd District
One of the last candidates to file to run in New Hampshire before Friday's deadline was Republican Casey Crane in the 2nd Congressional District.
Crane arrived at the secretary of state's office with a group of supporters to cheer her on as she filed her Republican candidacy for Congress in New Hampshire's 2nd District.
She paid the filing fee with 50 $1 bills.
"I have brought you 50 $1 bills, because a dollar doesn't buy you anything in Biden's America, but maybe this dollar will change everything," she said.

Crane is a former state representative who said her top issues in the campaign are immigration and girls sports.
"My first act will be to put forward a ban on transgender students playing in girls sports," she said. "I believe that girls sports need to be protected. I believe you need to have the ability to say whether a boy comes into your locker room or not. I don't think our rights are being acknowledged."
Crane said she chose to file on Friday because it's former President Donald Trump's birthday.
"I'm the candidate who can win," she said. "I'm also the candidate who supported Donald Trump from day one."
