Exeter's Goodman Running for New House Seat

The following is a news release:

Bob Goodman today announced his candidacy for the newly created NH Flotorial District 36 State Representative seat serving Exeter, Newfields, Newmarket and Stratham.

A flotorial district is a legislative district that includes in its boundaries several separate districts which independently would not be entitled to additional representation but whose combined population entitles the area to another seat in a legislative body undergoing redistricting. As part of this year’s redistricting process, the towns of Exeter, Newfields, Newmarket, and Stratham have been assigned representatives. However, in total they qualify for one more, resulting in the creation of Flotorial District 36.

Bob Goodman has lived in the seacoast area of New Hampshire for 35 years, working in the business, government and political sectors.  He currently resides in Exeter with his wife Pamela. They have four adult children.

A graduate of Grove City College in Pennsylvania, he was involved in public affairs and government relations work with the Liberty Mutual Group. He handled grassroots and political action committee activities in NH and Washington, DC, along with administrative responsibilities in their Dover and Portsmouth offices.

Bob worked with US Congressman Bill Zeliff for several years and eventually became his chief of staff in Washington. He was also a member of Senator Bob Smith’s staff, working both as his campaign finance director and on his NH staff working in constituent services.

He has worked in the commercial and residential real estate field. As a member of the Commercial Investment Board of REALTORS (CIBOR), Bob works with a statewide network of brokers selling and leasing commercial properties. Bob was associated for many years with the Seacoast Board of REALTORS, selling residential real estate in the Seacoast region of New Hampshire. He is currently associated with Danais Realty Group in Manchester.

During the 2010 election cycle his firm, Whitefield & Burke LLC,  focused on helping the NH Republican State Senate and House leadership regain majorities. This was accomplished by fundraising for the House and Senate Leadership team. They were also actively involved in several Senate races.

His firm ran the Ron Paul 2012 Presidential primary campaign in NH and helped coordinate the Paul campaigns in Maine, Vermont and Rhode Island.
