Prescott Continues to Add More Key Endorsements in NH-01

February 14, 2024

Exeter, NH - Today, Russell Prescott, candidate for Congress in the First District of New Hampshire, released another impressive set of endorsements in his race for US Congress. 

State Representative Ross Berry, Chair of the House Elections Law Committee and former Executive Director of the NHGOP, Manchester

“Building on the recent Republican victories here in Manchester is crucial for our party's success. To do that this November, we need to nominate the strongest candidates who can win. Russell Prescott has the right experience, conservative message, and temperament to defeat Rep. Chris Pappas. He has my full support for Congress in NH-01."

Business Owner Chuck Rolecek, Hampton

"Russell is the only candidate in this race with a professional track record of business acumen as President & CEO of his company, and public service through his time at the State House. That's why I'm supporting Russell so early and why I encourage others to do the same. He has the vision and the experience to make a real difference in Washington, for years to come."

Hillsborough County Attorney John Coughlin, Amherst

“Our state, and consequently our nation, are facing some difficult and dangerous truths in 2024. With the sharp increase in overdoses and fentanyl sales and consumption in New Hampshire, a direct correlation to the wide-open borders, Russell's priorities are clear and concise. A closed border is necessary for a safer New Hampshire. And as a former State Senator and Executive Council member, Russ is a strong supporter and advocate of our law enforcement community. He will fight to ensure proper funding at local and state levels.”

Business Owners & Community Leaders Stephen & Jean Mathieu, Manchester 

“Russell is a sharp, principled conservative who has served the state well as a State Senator and as a member of the NH Executive Council. A business owner with an eye for details, great wisdom, and a heart for the people of New Hampshire, it is our opinion that he is the perfect candidate for the First Congressional District. We whole-heartedly offer him our strongest endorsement."
