Christo passes away

By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com Reporter

Former Republican U.S. Senate candidate Thomas Christo has passed away.

Christo, 59, died Saturday from a brain aneurysm.

In 1990, Christo ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate. He lost in the Republican primary to future U.S. Senator Bob Smith.

Christo previously was the Finance Chairman for the New Hampshire Republican Party from 1991-1992 and recently served as the State Finance Chairman, and State Co-Chairman, for Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign.

He leaves behind a wife and four children.

Quote of the Day

"Last June we were promised by the Republican National Committee and McCain HQ's that we would be consulted on campaign strategy in New Hampshire. I guess that promise was as empty as the head of the person responsible for creating political strategy in New Hampshire. What can we expect next -- phone jamming calls on election day? Thanks guys."
