NH Senate President Endorses Scott Brown for U.S. Senate

State Senate President Chuck Morse, R-Salem, has endorsed Republican Scott Brown for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire.

"Scott Brown is a man of character who will work tirelessly to support the citizens of New Hampshire," Morse said in a statement released by the campaign June 23.

"After observing his campaign and listening to his message, I am confident that Scott has what it takes to unify the Republican Party and win back this senate seat in November. New Hampshire families are frustrated with Washington gridlock, high taxes and the failed policies of Obamacare, and they want their voice to be heard. Senator Shaheen is out of touch with our state, as proven through her partisan voting record and loyalty to President Obama. This is not what New Hampshire deserves.  With our help, Scott will work to support economic growth and send more power back to the states to make the best decisions for New Hampshire."

Brown is in a GOP primary with almost a dozen candidates, but his notable Republican rivals appear to be former state Sen. Jim Rubens and former U.S. Sen. Bob Smith.

Brown, in the statement, thanked Morse for his support and he said it was part of a growing grassroots team.
