Maggie Hassan, one of the two former State Senators seeking the Democratic nomination for Governor, is spending some of her impressive $600,000-plus haul on producing some television ads.

Hassan, some staff and a film crew were at Manchester’s Veterans Park. Two uniformed Manchester police officers and a cruiser appear to be featured in the shoot, as well. NH Journal has obtained exclusive photos of the film shoot.

The interaction with Hassan and NH Journal was not without some drama, however. A young staff member tried to prevent the Journal from taking pictures, stepping in front of our photographer several times, even though the film shoot was taking place in a public park.
