First Congressional Candidate John Stephen (R-Manchester) has released his latest endorsements.
The 100 endorsers will form Stephen's "Seacoast Leadership Team."
Former New Hampshire Republican Chairman Wayne Semprini, former Executive Councilor Ruth Griffin and former Safety Commissioner Richard Flynn are the most prominent figures to have endorsed Stephen.
"He knows about New Hampshire values because he has lived them his entire life. At a time when people want change from Washington, John Stephen is one person who has proven that he can deliver it," Flynn said in a statement.
"Right now, we need someone who can restore America's trust and credibility in Congress. Throughout his career, John has brought integrity, effectiveness and hard work wherever he has gone. He is the perfect antidote to what we see in Washington today, and we need him in there now more than ever," Griffin added.

Another Bradley supporter
Another Bradley supporter who needs hooked on phonics. BTW, I support niether, but these responses are quite telling and reek of campaign-driven damage control and spin.
Heavy Hitters?
I would hardly call Wayne Semprini a heavy hitter. When was the last time he was involved in a winning campaign? It wasn't as the State Chair for Rudy where he almost lost to Ron Paul or as the head of the party where under his watch the party fell apart. Let’s be honest Wayne’s endorsement isn’t that impressive.
Gregg, you need to learn to
Gregg, you need to learn to read for content. Most, if not all, of the people on that list are heavy political donators and they want nothing to do with Bradley. That's the point. In addition to those already openly supporting Stephen, there are many more who've refused to jump in yet which is a net win for Stepehen and slam at Bradley. My gut feeling is that Bradley's poor voting record has caught up with him and he is in big trouble-he just doesn't know it yet.
Wayne Semprini and Craig
Wayne Semprini and Craig Benson? I would hardly consider them "heavy hitters" Wayne Semprini was the 06 Party chair and drove them into the minority party in NH, and Benson, do we really need to go there?
Stephen takes Mahoney's turf
Looks like Stephen has stepped in and snatched up Sean Mahoney's backyard away from Bradley. While Jeb is busy trying to bash Shea-Porter, Stephen is robbing him blind.
Wow, there are some
Wow, there are some heavy-hitters on that list! Semprini and Griffin are well-known, but most aren't and many once openly supported Bradley. I can see at least 30 or so who are on his donation list in years past. This could get very interesting!
