Let me tell you a story that I think says it all about Frank Guinta.
While working for the state Department of Safety, I went to Washington to testify before the House Transportation Committee on a funding bill that was important to New Hampshire. I boarded the airplane in Manchester, and Frank was on the plane.
He asked me what I was doing, and I said โIโm going to testify before your committee.โ He said he would see me there. He never showed up. Hereโs a guy who represents us, and he couldnโt be bothered to show up for a hearing on funding that affects his own state.
Rich Ashooh is running against Frank in the Republican primary, and I can tell you that Rich Ashooh is a man of his word. Iโve known Rich for better than10 years, and the bottom line is that Rich has integrity. You can count on him, every time. Heโs the kind who gets things done.
People who know me know how important veterans issues and national security are to me. I know Rich Ashooh is passionate about protecting our country and our veterans. He lived national security as an executive at BAE Systems, and I trust him completely to support a strong defense, and give our service members and veterans the support they need during and after the fight.
We need a representative who will fight for us in D.C. Rich Ashooh will be that representative.
