Stark 360 Backs Rubens Against Ayotte

By Aaron Day

A recent Gallup poll showed that 75 percent in the United States now see widespread government corruption, and a Chapman University survey found that Americans now fear corruption of government officials over all other worries including terrorist attacks, bio-warfare and economic collapse.

The Center for Public Integrity recently gave the state of New Hampshire a grade of D- for overall integrity. Alarmingly, the state received an F for public access to information, political financing, electoral oversight, judicial accountability, and ethics enforcement agencies.

Kelly Ayotte, in her role as Attorney General and then as U.S. Senator exemplifies why New Hampshire has earned such a lousy grade, and it is time for her to finish her last term in Washington D.C.. Her votes for Cromnibus, EPA expansion, and Loretta Lynch for Attorney General, as well as interfering in the New Hampshire election for Speaker of the House (leading to the apparent extension of Obamacare Medicaid expansion), and the criminal cover up of the Financial Resources Management (FRM) Ponzi scheme are just a few of the reasons she is no longer fit to be our U.S. Senator.

Stark360 PAC (stark360.org) is pleased to announce that we are taking aggressive steps to stop Ayotte from further corrupting our state and our country. We are endorsing Jim Rubens for the Republican primary for U.S. Senate.

Should Rubens not win the primary, we are poised to support Andrew Hemingway as an independent in the general election.

While Hemingway has not yet accepted our draft campaign effort formally, an effort has been launched and the 3,000 signatures needed for Hemingway to appear on the ballot next November have been collected.

If you find yourself reluctantly considering support for Ayotte based on electability, or are a large out of state donor or PAC considering supporting Ayotte, save your anguish and your money. Even if she wins the primary, she will not win a three-way race with a strong liberty/conservative candidate. Rubens is now the only possible Republican who could win the New Hampshire U.S. Senate seat in 2016.

Stark360 supported Jim Rubens in 2014 for US Senate (where he garnered 25 percent of the vote in a three-way primary). We supported Hemingway for New Hampshire Governor (where he received almost 40 percent of the vote in the primary). Our SuperPAC is uniquely well positioned to work on this race given our experience in running statewide races in New Hampshire and our familiarity with both candidates.
