John Stephen with Wayne Semprini
Congressional candidate John Stephen (R-Manchester) has announced his campaign chairman and co-chairs.
Former state Sen. Chuck Morse (R-Salem) will serve as Stephen's campaign chairman while former U.S. Rep. Chuck Douglas, state Sen. Jack Barnes (R-Raymond) former Executive Councilor Ruth Griffin, former GOP state Chairman Wayne Semprini, Dick Flynn and state Reps. Peter Batula (R-Merrimack) and Carolyn Brown (R-North Conway) will serve as campaign co-chairs.
"These leaders represent some of the soundest political minds in the state," Stephen said in a press release. "They will be tremendous assets and will provide great advice to the campaign and me as we move forward and I am tremendously grateful for their help in getting me elected to Congress. Each of these men and women shares my strong belief about the need to bring New Hampshire values to Washington."
Stephen is the former Health and Human Services Secretary and is running in the Republican primary against former Congressman Jeb Bradley (R-Wolfeboro).

Sorry, Manchester - they're both conservatives.
I don't believe the people of NH want to vote back in the failed policies of GW Bush.
Window dressing
The bottom line in this race is very simple. Do you want a conservative (Stephen) or a moderate (Bradley). The rest is window dressing.
Confused??
Someone should tell Attorney Stephens that hiz campaign chairman doesn't live in his district. Salem is in district two.
