In the November election, Craig, a Democrat, beat four-term Republican Mayor Ted Gatsas.

Democratic U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan introduced Craig before her inauguration speech.

Craig, a former alderman, has said her priorities as mayor will be to improve city schools, reduce crime and to address the opioid crisis.
