(Ms. Ayotte's working hard to meet with her real constituents this week. - promoted by Dean Barker)
On the heels of news that her first campaign staffer is a K Street lobbyist, Ayotte spends the first days of her U.S. Senate campaign inside the beltway meeting with GOP power brokers
CONCORD- Sources say Kelly Ayotte spent her first week as a U.S. Senate candidate meeting with National Republican Senatorial Committee Chair John Cornyn and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell in Washington. Meanwhile back home in New Hampshire questions remain for Kelly about where she stands on the issues. Members of her own party aren't even sure where she stands.
NH Republican Strategist, Mark Sanborn told The Hill: "One of the big questions in the state right now is, where is Kelly Ayotte? Is [Lamontagne] going to be to the right of her by a couple of degrees, or is she going to be classified as a [Republican in name only]?"
In addition to the counsel of Cornyn and McConnell, Kelly has also tapped a K Street lobbyist to advise her U.S. Senate campaign. This week, the Union Leader reported that Kelly's first staff hire is a registered lobbyist with a Washington-based Government Relations firm. Tom Daffron, a current lobbyist with Jefferson Consulting, will act as a top advisor to Kelly in her bid for U.S. Senate.
"Kelly Ayotte was in a hurry to break her pledge to serve out her term as Attorney General but she is apparently in no rush to tell the public where she stands on the issues. Why was her first move as a U.S. Senate candidate to meet with GOP power brokers rather than people of the Granite State? Is she consulting Washington Republicans to decide what kind of candidate she wants to be? New Hampshire needs leaders who will represent them in the Senate not do the bidding of Washington insiders," said Victoria Bonney, Communications Director at the New Hampshire Democratic Party.
