House seat after news surfaced about her felony convictions, is having second thoughts about stepping down.
"I am going to put the question out to all of you ..." Laughton, D-Nashua, posted on Facebook around noon Wednesday. "Should I pull out and resign or not. Keep in mind I have said that I would on TV. I have the letter in hand all I have to do is sign it and send it to the State."
Her statements came a day after she announced she would vacate her seat amid pressure to resign due to felony convictions in 2008. Her second thoughts lasted throughout the day Wednesday.
