O’Malley is first major presidential hopeful to file in NH

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Democrat Martin O’Malley is the first major candidate to sign up for New Hampshire’s first-in-the-nation presidential primary. He says voters want a president who gets things done, not “old names or polarizing figures.”

O’Malley lags far behind Democrats Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), but says the campaign is just now entering the window when voters are really paying attention. And he insists he is the only one with a record of delivering results.

Donald Trump planned to file later Wednesday.

The filing period runs through Nov. 20.

For the 2012 election, 44 presidential candidates from 26 states got on the New Hampshire ballot. The all-time high was 1992, when 61 signed up.

The date of the election has not been formally set, but is expected to be Feb. 9.
