Jim Gilmore Returns to New Hampshire on December 1-2, 2015
Alexandria, VA -- Following up on a series of television ads focusing on the terrorist threat facing America, and in the wake of recent national polls showing him among the top nine Republican candidates, former Virginia Gov. Jim Gilmore returns to New Hampshire today to campaign.
"I believe I am building a solid relationship with the working families of New Hampshire," said Gilmore, who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination. "They are concerned about many of the same things that concern families in Virginia and South Carolina -- drug abuse, the economy and jobs, the treatment of our veterans and keeping their families safe."
Gilmore, who was listed among the top nine Republican candidates in two recent national polls including a rolling five-day poll conducted by Reuters, will speak at a meeting of the New Hampshire Veterans Advisory at the National Guard Armory in Concord at 5 p.m. today.
Gilmore served in U.S. Army Intelligence in Europe and is one of only two veterans in the Presidential race.
On Wednesday, Dec. 2, the former Virginia governor will record an interview at the Airport Diner with WMUR at 10:00 a.m. in Manchester as part of the station's Candidate Cafe series.
At 12 Noon Wednesday, New England College will host a Town Hall Meeting for Gilmore in the Simon Center Great Room on NEC’s Henniker campus.
The Gilmore Town Hall Meeting will be the ninth in a series of NEC Town Hall Meetings featuring Presidential candidates. The event, which is free and open to the public, is being sponsored by the Center for Civic Engagement at New England College.
Today's trip to the Granite State is Gilmore's 14th visit to New Hampshire to meet and talk to voters. Gilmore, who was Governor of Virginia during 9/11 and served for five years as chairman of a national terrorism commission that warned about a domestic terror attack before 9/11, has recently been airing a television commercial in New Hampshire expressing concern about the Obama Administration's inept response to terrorism.
