Hodes to run for U.S. Senate

by: Congressman Paul Hodes

Wed Feb 04, 2009 at 11:36:23 AM EST


(You heard it here first - - promoted by elwood)

For the last two years, I have been honored to serve the people of New Hampshire and fight for Granite Staters. I have been proud to stand up with Anne Marie Morse to pass Michelle's Law to make sure no college student will lose their health care when they need it the most.

I am proud that I fought to pass legislation to create the Northern Border Development Commission to help create jobs for the North Country.

I am proud that I stood up to create a veterans advocate in the VA to stand up for veterans like Chris Howe who needed an advocate to help get out of Walter Reed and home to his family.  

I am proud to have helped thousands of Granite Staters who needed someone to stand up for them.

It is with the stories of people like Anne Marie Morse, Chris Howe, and thousands of New Hampshire families struggling in this difficult economy in mind that I announce today that I will run for the United States Senate in 2010 to continue to keep our state and our nation moving forward.

I want to continue my service to the people of New Hampshire and continue to stand up for middle class families. I will continue to work every day for the people of New Hampshire's second district and I will work in the future to give New Hampshire the representation it deserves in the United States Senate.

In the coming months, I will have a more formal announcement of my candidacy. For all of the people of New Hampshire, I look forward to meeting you, listening to your ideas, and hearing your stories as we discuss how I can stand up for you.

Just because your voice reaches halfway around the world doesn't mean you are wiser than when it reached only to the end of the bar.

WE'RE IN IT TO WIN IT! (4.00 / 1)
This is fantastic news, as you are our best possible candidate for New Hampshire. These times are tough, so it's no time to be timid.  I've found you to be a tireless advocate for the people of New Hampshire - Anne Marie Morse and Chris Howe are but two of MANY examples.

So I'm please to see that you're in it to win it, but I'm not surprised.  Just another sign that you're willing to work hard for us, and that's inspiring.

Thank you for your service and commitment for us, and count me in!

Thank you for supporting NH New Energy Economy (4.00 / 1)
One of Congressman Hodes' recent actions to help New Hampshire's public health, jobs creation and economy was his vote to take a great first step toward a clean energy economy.   In supporting the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, Congressman Hodes supported $80 billion in energy efficiency, clean transportation and renewable energy funding that will create jobs right here in New Hampshire.

Workers and families and our state need this help, and it's a great opportunity to invest in improving drinking water systems, new clean energy technology and to make other green economy investments we need.  

Here's hoping for Hodes' continued support for investing in New Hampshire's new energy economy and protecting our water infrastructure systems and resources.

I'm not taking sides, though I think Hodes would be an excellent choice. (0.00 / 0)
My thing is, it's never too soon to launch a website, even if it's for an exploratory/preliminary phase. That goes for other candidates as well, including would-be Representatives, now that Rep. Hodes is running for Senate.

Sign me up! (4.00 / 3)
Who do I contact to volunteer for the campaign? I'm ready to get in the trenches and send him to the Senate!

I got home from class (0.00 / 0)
and saw a Facebook invite to a Hodes for Senate group. I thought for a moment, "oh, it's early, and maybe there will be other candidates and I should wait to assess everyone's positions." It was only a very brief moment, though, because--who was I kidding?--Paul Hodes would make a great Senator.
