"I looked at all the candidates running for State Senate in District 24, and the only candidate that I trust to work hard and represent district 24 is Dan Innis. Dan has a ton of energy and great ideas about how to make our economy stronger. Dan is a visionary that has transformed the UNH Business school to be one of the best business schools in the country."

"Dan shares that concern and understands that we need to create a better long-term economic environment that will encourage our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren to start their businesses and raise their families right here in New Hampshire," she said. That’s why I am supporting Dan Innis, Dan is the man!"

"Ruth is truly one of the most passionate public servants I have ever known," he said. "Her commitment to New Hampshire is unmatched and it is and honor to have her endorsement."
