New Hampshire GOP Leaders Doug and Stella Scamman Endorse John Kasich for President

NEW HAMPSHIRE GOP LEADERS DOUG AND STELLA SCAMMAN THINK JOHN KASICH SHOULD BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

Today lifelong New Hampshire public servants and Republican activists Doug and Stella Scamman announced their endorsement of Ohio Governor John Kasich for President, saying the governor “stands out as the best among many very good candidates for President and will provide the leadership we need in Washington.” 

The Scammans will serve as New Hampshire State Co-chairs of Kasich’s campaign.
“In Congress, as Chair of the Budget Committee, John Kasich led the way in passing a balanced budget, showing he can work with all factions of Washington to accomplish great feats.  He knows foreign policy from serving years in Congress.  As Governor of Ohio, John Kasich turned an $8 billion budget deficit into a $2 billion dollar surplus while making state government more efficient and delivering better services. 

When a state like Ohio re-elects their Governor with 64 percent of its vote, one knows that Governor Kasich has done what he is telling us," said the Scammans.  “His leadership, his experience with crafting the federal budget, his goal of promoting policy rather than partisanship, telling his story rather than criticizing others, and working to bring all people together rather than divide the nation is what makes John Kasich stand out.  Governor Kasich’s positive approach is what we need in Washington.”   
              
Doug Scamman served 13 terms as a New Hampshire state representative and was elected Speaker of the House three times.  Stella Scamman served three terms in the New Hampshire House, was a member of the University System of New Hampshire Board of Trustees for 12 years, and is active with the Seacoast Republican Women.  In 2014, the Scammans received the Granite State Award from the University of New Hampshire in recognition of their outstanding contributions to New Hampshire.  The Scammans have hosted countless local and national Republican candidates over the years at their Bittersweet Farm in Stratham, including Mitt Romney’s announcement for President rally in 2011.

“The Scammans are legends in New Hampshire politics and I appreciate their support very much.  They will be an important part of our campaign’s efforts in the state and critical to our success.  I’m very excited about what we’re going to be able to do together,” said Kasich.

Scott Walker Announces Cliff Hurst, Phyllis Woods, and Chris Wolfe as New Hampshire Campaign Co-Chairs

Gov. Scott Walker Announces New Hampshire Campaign Co-Chairs
Gov. Scott Walker today announced Cliff Hurst, Phyllis Woods, and Chris Wolfe as statewide co-chairs for his presidential campaign in New Hampshire.

Walker has already experienced strong support in the Granite State as he's shared his message of reform and results, and the campaign will continue to compete aggressively to win the first-in-the-nation primary.

"No one knows the Granite State – and what it takes to win its primary – better than these three great leaders," said Walker. "It is a pleasure to have Cliff, Phyllis and Chris on our team, and I thank them for their gracious support of our campaign. With their help, we'll continue to share our record, our message, and our vision for a better America in this early primary state where we have a real pathway to victory."

Walker begins a three-day tour through New Hampshire today, his sixth trip this year, with a stop at the New Hampshire Education Summit, a health care town hall in Barrington, and a house party at Chris Wolfe's home in Derry. He will also make several stops throughout the state on Thursday and Friday.

From the co-chairs

"I am pleased to endorse Gov. Scott Walker for President of the United States," said Hurst. "The governor is a man of strong faith and great character. He showed courage when he took a stand, fought the status quo, and defeated the entrenched, big-government special interests. He is a fighter who wins, and he is the leader America needs."

“Rarely have I seen a candidate that has so clearly demonstrated the courage, integrity, ability and temperament to be the leader of our country," said Woods. "A strong conservative, Scott Walker is right on the issues and has the experience, intelligence and humility to have earned my respect and my confidence. He has what it takes to be a great president.”

"The Republican Party is fortunate to have many qualified candidates running for president, yet only one has implemented groundbreaking reforms and fought the liberal establishment in enacting them," said Wolfe. "That candidate is Gov. Scott Walker. In the face of unrelenting pressure, he has been unintimidated. He held fast and delivered the reforms he was elected to deliver, winning three elections in four years. America needs the strong, conservative leadership of Gov. Scott Walker."
