Bradley names support from 50 veterans

By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com Reporter

First Congressional District candidate Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro) has released the names of fifty veterans who will comprise the group "Vets for Jeb."

"We owe these men and women our most precious freedoms and they deserve in turn to be treated with honor and respect from our government. That is something I have always fought for and will continue to, when I am elected in November," Bradley said in a statement.

Supporters include Paul Chevalier, former State Commander New Hampshire Veterans of Foreign Wars and Londonderry State Rep. Al Baldasaro.

"Jeb worked to increase veterans healthcare funding while in Congress, and successfully fought to reject proposals to raise healthcare costs for retired military members and their families. He fought for us, now we'll fight for him," Chevalier said.

Having Al Baldasaro's support does nothing to add to Jeb's credibility.

To Whom It May Concern:
Between Paul Chevalier and me we have over fifty years of active duty service in the US Marine Corps.

We just might have a little experience when it comes to supporting a candidate like Jeb Bradley, especially when it comes to Veteran Issue’s.

When Jeb was in Congress, we could call his office anytime when we had a problem with a Veteran and he jumped right on it and then called back to make sure that the Veteran was satisfied with his situation being taken care of.

Many Veterans used their Veteran status when they wake up in the morning and say I want to run for office. I ask all Veterans, what have you done for Veterans since you been out of the service and for many they have done nothing. Talk is cheap and Jeb backs up his talk up with his record.

I would support a Veteran running for office in a heart beat but if he has no record in fighting for Veterans benefits than I will not take a chance in supporting him.

Jeb Bradley has a record to run on when it comes to taking care of Veterans. You can write anything you want but many Veterans know that Jeb was there for them and he never once turned his back on us.

You post on this site and like many who never back their comments up with a name. As far as my support where you state it “does nothing for Jeb’s credibility,’ well maybe you should ask around and see if AL Baldasaro is out spoken on Veterans issues. I have been speaking up way before I became a State Rep.

My record speaks for itself when it comes to Veterans issues along with Jeb’s record.

The difference between you and I, is I will sign my name to my post and stand by it.

Semper Fi,

AL Baldasaro
