DUBLIN, N.H. -- Former U.S. Senate candidate and longtime political activist Doris "Granny D" Haddock has died. She was 100.

Her spokeswoman, Maude Salinger, told The Associated Press that haddock died at her home of chronic respiratory illness, surrounded by her son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Haddock gained national recognition when she walked across the country to call attention to the issue of campaign finance reform. The trip started in 1999 and ended in 2000.

"At 90 years old, I walked across the country -- 3,200 miles," she told News 9 in a January interview. "I walked every step."
