From Eric Dondero:

A special election is set for early September to fill the vacancy of a Republican State Rep. busted for DUI. A "RINO" Republican snared the GOP nomination in a crowded field. Brendan Kelly is an elected Libertarian serving on the Seabrook Town Committee. He ran for this seat in 2010. He has vowed to "caucus" with Republicans if elected. He is a fiscal hawk, staunchly pro-business, and right-to-work. He is also a pro-defense libertarian and a 20-year Veteran of the US Military. If elected, Brendan will be the only sitting state legislator of the Libertarian Party in the U.S. and the 6th in NH history.

From the Daily News of Newburyport, Aug 04:

Vote for Brendan Kelly

To the editor:

I want to take a quick moment to let the people of District 14, Kensington, South Hampton, Hampton Falls and Seabrook know that there are many people in the N.H. GOP House caucus supporting Brendan Kelly as your new state representative. While Brendan is not a registered Republican, he certainly espouses the values we need in Concord far better than the Republican nominee has publicly stated he would.

With issues like Right-To-Work legislation in the balance, we need a person we know who will vote for important jobs legislation for the people of District 14 and New Hampshire. Unfortunately, I don't believe either the union-backed Republican candidate or the Democratic candidate is willing to do what is best for the people. Both of these candidates have publicly proclaimed representing special interest groups was more important than standing up for the hardworking families of New Hampshire.

We need a principled person like Brendan Kelly in the N.H. Legislature who will work with the team we have in Concord today fighting to reduce the size and scope of government, reducing regulations on our businesses and protecting the liberties and freedoms that others keep trying to take from us. These are not code words or silly ideas with no meaning. These are words that help define who we are as a society and as individuals seeking to enjoy a greater quality of life in New Hampshire.

I urge the people of Kensington, South Hampton, Hampton Falls and Seabrook to support Brendan Kelly with your vote on Tuesday, Sept. 6.

Rep. Fred Leonard

Strafford 1

Rochester, N.H

Personal note - Brendan is a personal friend of mine, and I worked as a volunteer in his 2010 campaign. BrendanKellyLPNH.com
