Ted Gatsas
Theodore L. Gatsas (born May 22, 1950) is an American politician and member of the Republican party who had served as mayor of Manchester, New Hampshire, from 2010 to 2018.[7] Gatsas won a huge victory over Chris Hebert in the 2011 mayoral contest, taking nearly 70% of the vote.[9] In 2015, Gatsas faced his stiffest challenge ever, when he beat Democratic Alderwoman Joyce Craig by only 64 votes, after a recount.[21] The revelation of the rape and the failure to inform the public of the crime led to changes in police and school administration policy.[25] It was found in the final days of the Gatsas administration that the City Solicitor's office had failed to successfully prosecute domestic violence cases.[27] Police Chief Nick Willard, out of concern that victims were not being protected, and even placed in further violence, appealed directly to the Attorney General of New Hampshire for assistance.
