"The 2014 election for the Executive Council district around Manchester could look a lot similar to the 2012 election.On Tuesday, Democratic incumbent Chris Pappas said he will seek a second term. On Wednesday, Pappas's Republican opponent from two years ago, Bob Burns, said he will try again.\"I believe the most important responsibilities of the council are the confirmation of executives to head New Hampshire\u2019s departments, judicial appointments, and the approval of state contracts. We need to ensure that the governor of New Hampshire has the counsel of wise, independent people who will carry on the proud New Hampshire traditions of liberty, justice, and the promotion of our unique economic advantage.\" said Burns. \"It is unfortunate that Chris Pappas is more beholden to lobbyists, special interests and the establishment of the Democratic party.\u201DIn response to the news that Burns would get in, Pappas wrote supporters saying, \"Here we go again.\"Remember our opponent from 2012,\" wrote Pappas. \"The one who said he would defund Planned Parenthood and apply conservative litmus tests to judicial nominations? The one who opposed studying passenger rail? The one who said he wouldn't compromise on anything in Concord?\u00A0Well, he's back.\"If both win their respective primaries -- and neither currently face a primary challenger -- it will be among just another rematch that New Hampshire is seeing from races to Congress to state Senate. In fact three of the five executive council races may involve rematches."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
