DUBLIN, N.H. (AP) - A New Hampshire woman who walked across the country a decade ago to publicize the need for campaign finance reform and hasn't let up since is turning 100.

Doris "Granny D" Haddock of Dublin turns 100 on Sunday, but will celebrate Thursday when a variety of speakers honor her at a Statehouse ceremony.

Haddock was 89 when she walked 3,200 miles to draw attention to campaign finance reform. At 94, she ran for U.S. Senate against Republican Judd Gregg. Since then, she has been attending weekly meetings of the Citizen-Funded Election Task Force, which was created by the Legislature to develop proposals for public funding of state elections.
