Concord, N.H. - Continuing to mark this week's anniversary of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, the New Hampshire Democratic Party is throwing it back to the time in a 2010 debate when Kelly Ayotte denied the need for new federal protections against wage discrimination. She said, 'we have laws in place right now that address those issues,' which would explain why she has since voted 4 times against the Paycheck Fairness Act.

John DiStaso asked 'is additional federal legislation needed to address wage discrimination in the workplace?' to which Ayotte replied 'I think we have laws in place right now that address those issues…that happens in the private sector, and there are laws in place that address those issues.'
