Jim Rubens Announces Liberty Activist Support

Jim Rubens, a Republican running for U.S. Senate, recently announced a slate of liberty activists supporting his campaign. 

Rubens, in his announcement, said the endorsements "effectively turn the GOP primary into a two-person race."

"These endorsements show that New Hampshire voters want a committed conservative who will advance liberty and bring thoughtful solutions to Washington," Rubens said in a statement. "Voters want a candidate with a proven track record of showing how liberty can improve lives and increase prosperity. My charter school law provides choice for parents, diversity of education opportunities, higher academic performance for children, and lower costs for taxpayers. I launched debate over electricity choice and competition that has saved New Hampshire ratepayers millions. These distinguished activists recognize that the federal government has become a threat to freedom, spying on our emails and telling us which doctors and hospitals we can use."

Rubens said the following have joined his campaign supporters:

• Tom Barton, Washington
• Jenn Coffey, Andover
• Aaron Day, Bedford
• Sam Eaton, Enfield
• Fmr. Sen. Jim Forsythe, Strafford
• Deb Johnson, Concord
• George Johnson, Weare
• Rep. George Lambert, Litchfield
• Ron Noyes, Contoocook
• Eric Schlelen, Hudson
• Jason Sorens, Lebanon
• Bill Walker, Plainfield

The race for the GOP nomination and chance to challenge U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) in November includes Rubens, Bob Smith, Karen Testerman and Scott Brown.
