Russell Prescott Launches

Campaign in NH-01

July 27, 2023

Exeter, NH - Russell Prescott, a successful New Hampshire small business owner and former Executive Councilor and State Senator, is announcing his campaign for Congress in New Hampshire’s First Congressional District.

In response to the announcement, Russell Prescott said, “Granite Staters are ready for a change in our representation in Congress, whether it’s rising energy costs or the opioid epidemic. The broken southern border or a lack of support for our men and women in law enforcement. The rising debt and daily attempts to infringe on our personal liberties. I hear it day in and day out from New Hampshire families that our current leadership in Washington is failing us. That’s why after much consideration with my family and supporters, I have decided I cannot stand by and allow our current trajectory to be the country we leave to our children and grandchildren.

“Our state’s leadership in Congress has forgotten the independent 'Live Free or Die' values we pride ourselves on in New Hampshire. We need a fresh voice who has the business and elected experience to change the status quo. I look forward to continuing to travel the district in the coming months and pledge to work hard to earn the Republican nomination in the coming year. United, we can defeat Chris Pappas and bring real change to Washington.”

Prescott is no stranger to hard work. He’s entering the race already surpassing six figures in fundraising commitments, with over $100,000 already pledged from over 80 individual donors across the state.

He also announces that his campaign general consultants will be the New Hampshire-based Ascent Strategic, with campaign veterans Michael Biundo and Derek Dufresne running the daily operations. Both have run and won primary and general election campaigns in NH-01 and across the nation.

Michael Biundo added, “Russell Prescott is precisely the type of individual we need representing New Hampshire in Congress. He has the public and private sector experience to hit the ground running on day one and the record to go toe-to-toe with Chris Pappas. He’s honest and forthright and has proven that he has the independent backbone to stand up for what he believes in. I admire that.

“Russell has run and won in swing seats in the past while remaining steadfast in his conservative beliefs. That’s precisely the sort of nominee we need if we are going to win next year.”
