Gordon Humphrey Endorses Forsythe
August 27, 2010Former US Senator and NH Conservative Figure Supports Forsythe’s Bid
LACONIA- The Jim Forsythe for State Senate Campaign has announced today that Jim has received the endorsement of former US Senator Gordon Humphrey. Senator Humphrey made the following statement:
“Jim Forsythe is the type of hard-working and principled leader that we need in the State Senate. He will bring the energy and new ideas necessary to turn New Hampshire around. Jim’s grassroots political activism to protect our personal freedoms and lower taxes prove that he will be a man of his word and fight adamantly for his constituents. As a US Senator, I voted against the federal budget every year I was in office because they were all projected to create a deficit. Jim Forsythe knows the detrimental effects that budget deficits can have on our economy, and will work to close the gap by cutting wasteful spending. If you would like to see fiscal responsibility and a strong economy restored in New Hampshire, then I encourage you to support Jim Forsythe for State Senate in District 4.”
Senator Humphrey served in the US Senate for two terms (1979-1990), the NH State Senate for one term (1991-1992), and was the Republican nominee for Governor in 2000. He ‘term limited’ himself after two terms and became the only person to serve in the US Senate and then serve in a State Senate. Humphrey has been a staunch advocate for conservatism and personal freedoms in New Hampshire.
Senator Humphrey and his wife Patty will be joining Jim on the evening of Wednesday, September 8th for a taxpayer town hall meeting. The event will take place from 5-6:30 in the auditorium of the Laconia library. Admission is free and refreshments will be provided.
