By Ray Cardello for September 12, 2022 Season 13 / Post 8

I first met General Don Bolduc two years ago when we hosted his first meet and greet for his Senate run in 2020. Our friends and neighbors were impressed with the General and saw him as a no-nonsense Conservative Republican who was the right person to unseat Senator Jeanne Shaheen. Don was comfortably positioned to win the Republican primary until Corkey Messner submarined him. Messner was late into the race but came with the endorsement of President Donald Trump. He lost his bid but sharpened his approach to door-to-door campaigning. That experience has served him well in his second bid for the Senate.

Don Bolduc is in the lead outpacing the other Republican candidates. President Trump was asked to endorse Chuck Morse but opted to sit out the New Hampshire primary. Good news for Bolduc. He should win the primary on Tuesday and set his sights and efforts on retiring Maggie Hassan. Hassan is considered a swing incumbent, and Bolduc has an excellent chance to defeat the seated Senator, and he should.

General Bolduc is not a Washington General but an actual field General, having served ten tours leading our troops in Afghanistan. By the end of his career, he received two awards for valor, five Bronze Star medals, and two Purple Hearts. He was also one of the few survivors of both a helicopter crash and a 2,000-pound bomb that inadvertently targeted on his position by friendly fire. He has been awarded the Defense Service Medal, the Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit, Army Commendation Medal with Valor Device and numerous awards from our allies. These are not the awards of a desk jockey. Brigadier General Don Bolduc earned these citations by being on the ground with his troops. 

Don Bolduc is the type of man we need to represent New Hampshire in the Senate, especially in these highly charged divisive times. He will go to Washington and represent the Granite State with solid Conservative principles that we need to combat the Biden/Democrat Progressive agenda.

What is Don Bolduc supporting:

•  A secure border
• Stop the flow of Chinese Fentanyl across our Southern Border
•  A solid fiscal policy that promotes business and a robust economy
• A strong military that is more about security than being WOKE
• He supports the Police, the rule of law, and incarceration for offenders
• He believes we should be energy independent
• A strong global presence
• Less regulations and defense of our liberties

Though Trump has refused to endorse any candidate in the primary, there is incredible Republican money coming in from outside New Hampshire denouncing Bolduc and favoring Chuck Morse. Morse is a RINO and would not stand a chance against Hassan. One of Hassan’s favorite TV spots includes her son, who was born with cerebral palsy. They are pathetic ads, playing on emotion. Bolduc can run ads about the PTSD he brought home from his time in Afghanistan. Bolduc’s story resonates better with the folks of New Hampshire, and I think the second time around for Bolduc puts him in a good position. That position would be to take his wife, Sharon, and his dog, Victory, that is always at his side, to Washington and end this string of WOKE Democrat representation that has been doing nothing to make New Hampshire and the country great again.
