Senator-elect Ayotte Named Republican Rising Star
November 8, 2010The voters of New Hampshire know Kelly Ayotte both from her tenure as Attorney General and now as New Hampshire’s Senator. Now she is being named by The Daily Caller as a Republican Rising Star that you don’t know about. Here is what they had to say about her and her rising stock in New Hampshire and DC.
Senator-elect Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire
Ayotte clobbered her Democratic opponent, Paul Hodes, by twenty three points to keep this crucial seat in Republican hands. The former New Hampshire attorney general ran on her pledge to cut government spending, to repeal health care reform, and to ban congressional earmarks. With New Hampshire as the site for the first presidential primary (Iowa holds the first primary contest, but it is a caucus), Ayotte could have a key role in shaping which Republican could come out on top. Senator-elect Ayotte, 42, has the distinction of being the only new woman elected to the Senate in this cycle.
