There may be a new U.S. Senate candidate sending literature to your mailbox soon. In fact, it may be there already, from STEWARD of Prosperity, the group founded by Nashua investor Fred Tausch. He's working with Concord's Michael Dennehy, the former national political director for Sen. John McCain, and has targeted announced Democratic Senate candidate U.S. Rep. Paul Hodes in the most recent STEWARD mailer.
Tausch said, "A number of people have encouraged me to run for office, and that's not something I've ruled out." Tausch said when he founded his group early this year that he supported Barack Obama's presidential campaign. He contributed $2,300 to Obama, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Tausch said Friday he's a registered Republican.
I like this move, because he's a self-funder, so that should give the Sununu-Bass dynamic some heartburn.
