Bradley says he represented 'New Hampshire values,' while in Congress
By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterGOFFSTOWN- Former New Hampshire Congressman Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro) told the Goffstown/Weare Republican Committee that while in Congress he represented "New Hampshire values."
"I have a record of working for things in Congress that are New Hampshire priorities," he told the group.
At the same meeting a month ago, Bradley's Republican opponent, former Health and Human Services Secretary John Stephen (R-Manchester), said that Bradley represented "DC values."
"I think my record speaks for itself. While in Congress, I represented New Hampshire values."
"I took those values to DC which met I stood-up for a strong defense and fiscal responsibility," Bradley told PolitickerNH.com.
Bradley said he has worked with Stephen in the past and the two agree on more issues than they disagree on.
Taking a shot at Stephen's claim that he would reign in earmarks Bradley told the local Republicans "I've worked with John at HHS and he came to us for an earmark, which we got for him."
He added, "there'll be some things we disagree on, but there'll be more things that we agree on."

"I had a person ask me that once and they asked which is the most powerful position I've ever held and I would have to say being chairman of the New Hampshire Democratic Party at a time when there was an upcoming New Hampshire primary is pretty important in the scheme of things," Bruno joked.
