Congressional Candidate John Stephen Unveils New Website

www.JOHNSTEPHEN.com Includes Streaming Video, Notes From The Trail

MANCHESTER, NH- 1st District Congressional candidate John Stephen today unveiled a new campaign website, www.JOHNSTEPHEN.com.  The new and updated web portal includes many new features, including streaming video from Stephen on the issues and speaking at various events across the district, a calendar of events to meet Stephen, photos from recent events and a new “Notes from the Trail” section which offers visitors the chance to experience campaign life.  The site also offers traditional features such as press releases, op-eds, a downloadable media kit, online contributions and a biography of Stephen.

“Today, the Internet has become such a critical tool for informing voters about candidates and issues, and I am committed to being part of the technological revolution,” said Stephen.  “People want to be able to access quick and accurate information about who is running and what they stand for.  This new website reflects the goal of giving people simple and easy access to details about my campaign, why I’m running and how I will bring New Hampshire values to Washington.”

Stephen said that as the campaign moves forward, visitors will be able to check the site regularly and follow the campaign’s progress.  He stressed that the site will grow and develop as his campaign does.

“Just as candidates get better by meeting voters and getting feedback, so do websites,” added Stephen.  “Ours is no different- we will be adding content based on the concerns and thoughts of the people we meet across New Hampshire.  We will continue to grow and expand this site and make sure it meets the needs of the voters to get them the best information available.  Today, a simple, easy to use website is what people expect, and we are going to give them a great environment to learn about this race.”

John Stephen is the former Commissioner of Health and Human Services.  Prior to that position, he served as the Assistant Commissioner of Safety, where he also served as the state’s first Homeland Security Coordinator.  Stephen also served as a prosecutor for 10 years, in Hillsborough County and as an Assistant Attorney General.  He is a Manchester resident.
