It is my honor and privilege to endorse Elliot Axelman for the House of Representatives in the Hooksett special election.
Elliot is a hard-working and dedicated young Republican candidate who will work tirelessly for the citizens of New Hampshire in general and for Hooksett in particular. During a time when the Democrats are promoting income and sales taxes, Elliot will stand in stark contrast as a tax fighter and common-sense conservative, something he has demonstrated as a member of the Hooksett Budget Committee.
He is a strong supporter of individual rights and liberty, including the Second Amendment. This too stands in contrast with the Democratic majority in Concord. Elliot will work with the governor to protect the New Hampshire advantage – which has earned us a No. 1 ranking as the best state in which to live in the United States. Elliot will work to promote a strong economy and low unemployment. As a paramedic, Elliot has dedicated his life as a public servant to help others in need.
On March 10, the citizens of Hooksett will have a clear choice between Elliot and the Democratic candidate to replace the late Dick Marple. I hope they will join me in supporting Elliot Axelman for state representative.
