NH is only GOP held state left in New England (though technically Rick Scott is in Vermont, legislature can override any veto). Republicans in addition to holding the Governorship also control the State House and State Senate. Congressional seat is open too. So going there once to shore up congress, state races and electoral vote in ME-02, where polling shows she can win is almost a no brainer. As long as she doesn’t go constantly, a stop outside the battleground swing states here and there to help out downballot Democrats is fine.

"Is the ME-02 media market the same as Portsmouth?"
No. Bangor is the largest city in that district.
