Bedford Dems Welcome Lee Nyquist Tonight

Lee C. Nyquist of New Boston is among those eyeing the District 9 seat in the New Hampshire Senate.

Tonight, joins Bedford Democrats for a 7 p.m. meet-and-greet in the McAllister Room at the Bedford Library.

District 9 is currently represented by Sen. Raymond White, R-Bedford. He is not running for re-election this fall.

Nyquist, an attorney with the law firm of Shaheen & Gordon in Manchester, talks jobs as he introduces himself on his website.

"I am exploring a run for the state Senate because, in my capacities as a father, a husband, neighbor, local volunteer, town moderator and an attorney, I have seen first-hand the impact these last few years have had on our families. We’ve all felt the consequences of the sluggish economy and we’ve all read about the divisiveness in Concord. I believe district 9 voters deserve a citizen legislator who can help steer New Hampshire clear of partisan politics and forge compromise on the key issues facing our state: improving the economy, preserving our personal liberty, and guarding the New Hampshire advantage and way of life.

With your help, we can return respect and civility to Concord, focus on jobs and the economy, and help improve the lives of New Hampshire families.

Thank you and please join our effort."
