Gov. Martin O'Malley plans to return to New Hampshire Monday to stump for a U.S. Senate and gubernatorial candidate there, aides said.
The visit marks his fifth trip to this early primary state this year as term-limited O'Malley spends his final months in office laying the groundwork for a possible presidential bid and helping Democrats get elected elsewhere.
As his No. 2 in Maryland Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown fights to win a tightening race to succeed O'Malley, the governor has stepped up his out of state travels to campaign on behalf of other Democrats in the midterm election.
