NH-02: DeJoie "Reviewing All My Options"

Lauren Dorgan:
Word got to us from a Very Reliable Source that Concord state Rep. John DeJoie is among those considering a run for Congress now that Hodes has made clear that he's running for Senate. DeJoie neither confirmed nor denied those reports.

"You know me," DeJoie said. "I'm a firefighter, and I'm an elected representative, and I love serving the public. So I'm reviewing all my options."


I love this. CD2 is the perfect laboratory in this state for the best progressive to run and win in a primary.  I hope we have many candidates who will consider going for it.

And with ideas like this that offer real leadership on our Pledge-driven revenue crisis, I'm already interested in what John DeJoie could bring to the US House. That he's also a Blue Hamster is just icing on the cake.

Adding: can we start a Draft Phinizy movement too?

John DeJoie Could Be Great In Washington! (4.00 / 1)
I've known John DeJoie since his first term in the New Hampshire House.  He's smart, easy to talk with, and has a passion for all things Democratic.  He'd be great in Washington.  

The good thing about the upcoming 2010 elections is that Democrats around the state have good benches.  John DeJoie is one of several who I would be excited about, looking from afar.  Democrats have a good bench throughout the state, and it will be fun seeing who is stepping forward for office.  


Jay Phinizy (4.00 / 4)
Jay Phinizy rocks too!  It would be great to have him back in the New Hampshire State Legislature if he doesn't run for another office.  He's missed.
