Peterson Endorsed By Republican Liberty Caucus of NH

Endorsement means financial and material support for candidate with common sense agenda.

Rep. Lenette Peterson, a candidate for re-election for State Representative from Hillsborough District 21, the town of Merrimack, has been endorsed by the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire, a strong sign that she will continue the good work of the current Legislature and help restore liberty and prosperity in New Hampshire.

"If I am re-elected, I look forward to working with the RLCNH once again. Their goal is not 'self-serving,' they aim to make NH more liberty-minded and by doing this the residents of New Hampshire save money by having less government and creating more jobs," Peterson said. “This coming session, I plan to sponsor an eminant domain bill, a couple bills that protect joggers, walkers and cyclists, as well as a Heart Beat Bill."

The RLCNH is unlike many groups that rate candidates since the caucus actually publishes its list of endorsed candidates, such as Peterson, before the primary in an effort to get only principled Republicans elected to office. Endorsed candidates will receive networking opportunities and the chance to use prepared campaign materials and services, such as website design and hosting services, talking-point memos and palm-card templates. Financial support will be provided to select candidates in key races.

“Our endorsement of Rep. Lenette Peterson for State Rep. from Merrimack is a strong statement of our confidence in her commitment to individual liberty, personal responsibility, limited government and free enterprise, ideas that will help restore liberty and prosperity in New Hampshire for years to come,” said Carolyn McKinney, chairman of the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire. “We expect endorsed Republicans to be unplugged from the political system in their mind and actions; grounded in doing what is right, not what is politically expedient or what has been requested by a lobbyist or an official from another branch of government. We expect our candidates to work for the people by following through on their campaign promises and using their judgment to make independent decisions.”
