DERRY, NH — Chris Bright, candidate for Congress in the First District of New Hampshire, released the first round of endorsements for his candidacy.
“I am proud to support Chris Bright for Congress,” said State Rep. Mike Bordes. “He listens, acts, and leads with integrity, he knows what matters to the citizens of our state. I’m supporting him because we need bold, responsible leadership that produces results, not rhetoric.”
“Chris Bright’s leadership in the Army and in the private sector make him the right choice to represent New Hampshire in Congress,” said State Representative James Thibault. “He understands the importance of determined and principled public service and connecting with the citizens of our state. We need a leader with a backbone to fight for Granite State values in Washington, which is why I’m happy to endorse Chris Bright for Congress.”
State Representative John Potucek adds “Greetings All, especially those who live in THE 603, CD-1 I am officially supporting and do endorse Chris Bright for the U.S. House of Representatives, New Hampshire Congressional District 1. Veteran, Business leader, Dad! He has the “right stuff” to be in Congress. Please consider supporting our “native Son”, and not any CARPETBAGGERS!”
“I’m honored to have the support of such a broad coalition,” said Chris Bright. “Their confidence shows that our campaign has the momentum to win, and I’ll work every day to fight for the people of New Hampshire.”
