Russell Prescott Announces

First Round of Endorsements

August 14, 2023

Exeter, NH - After announcing his campaign for Congress in NH-01 with over six figures of financial commitments spanning the state, Russell Prescott is now unveiling his first round of endorsements.

Hon. Al Baldasaro, former New Hampshire House of Representatives District 5, Londonderry

“I know Russell Prescott and trust him to be the right voice for New Hampshire’s First Congressional District in Washington. His can-do-attitude is 2nd to none! He has the conservative convictions, but also the unique ability to bring our party together in order to defeat Chris Pappas. He has my full support!”

Hon. Doug Scamman, former New Hampshire House Speaker, and Hon. Stella Scamman, Stratham

“Russell Prescott knows our community and our community knows him. He has shown his commitment to fighting for the ‘Live Free or Die’ values our state prides itself on — and we know he will bring those same values to the Halls of Congress. We need more folks like Russell in Washington, which is why we fully support Russell in this race.”

Sheriff Chuck Massahos, Rockingham County Sheriff

“I know Russell Prescott, but most importantly, I trust him. Now more than ever, we need leaders in Washington who are committed to standing up for our law enforcement and first responders. Russell has a proven track record of doing so in Concord, and I know he will do the same for us in Congress. He has my complete support in NH-01.”

Representative William Infantine, Hillsborough District 16, former Chairman of the Manchester Republican City Committee, Manchester

“Russell Prescott and I have worked together in Concord for many years. I’ve seen firsthand his commitment to putting New Hampshire’s interests at the forefront throughout his tenure in the state senate and executive council. Russell and his wife truly love our state and his independent voice is exactly what we need in Washington. He has my full support.”

Hon. Brian Murphy, former Chairman of the Rockingham County Republican Committee and former New Hampshire House of Representatives Rockingham 18, Rye

“It’s my pleasure to endorse Russell Prescott for Congress. His track record and experience speaks for itself. Perhaps more importantly, his temperament and statesmanship is what’s missing in Washington. It will be great for New Hampshire to send a true representative of our community to the People’s House.”

Colonel Lynn Presby, NH State Police (Ret)

“I once supported Rep. Chris Pappas in his first run for Congress. However, with Russell Prescott now entering the 2024 race for Congress in the NH-01 district, I will be firmly backing Russell during this election. It seems our current representation has joined the Washington club, left the independent Granite State values behind, and abandoned any real thought of fiscal responsibility. The 2024 election represents a time of badly needed change at the United States Capitol.

"I have personally known Russell Prescott for many years. Over the past couple of decades, Russell has served several terms in the New Hampshire State Senate and thereafter served on the NH Executive Council. In both of those important capacities, Russell always listened to his constituents, worked diligently to make New Hampshire a better place for everyone, and always kept track of the fiscal purse strings. Without doubt, he will do the same in Congress.

“Russell has a lifetime of public and private sector accomplishments with a proven commitment to the citizens of our our state. For more than 23 years, he has been standing up for our Law Enforcement, Firefighters, Corrections Officers, and all first responders. I am more than confident he will continue this support as our next Member of Congress. He’s a proven leader who has always kept his word which will be refreshing to see in Washington. He has my full and complete support.”
