Pataki (candidate or not) will make another visit to New Hampshire

Though many Republican activists believe that former New York Governor George Pataki has dropped out of the race for president, Pataki will visit New Hampshire later this week, the Globe as learned.

Pataki is scheduled to speak to Republican activists in the state’s North Country on Thursday, according to Coos County Republican Chairman Scott Mason.

At a small, private dinner last month with some big name New Hampshire Republicans, Pataki said he is going to take his time making his decision on whether to run for president. In the meantime, he said he would focus on policy issues, not politics.

On Thursday Pataki is expected to discuss the process of how to turn wood into ethanol at Emerson’s Outdoor Outfitters in Groveton.
