Line Up Behind Prescott in NH-01

September 12, 2023

Exeter, NH - Today, Russell Prescott announced another round of endorsements from Granite State leaders in his campaign for Congress in NH-01. As his strong grassroots support continues to grow, so does his fundraising, with the recent announcement of his campaign war chest surpassing $400,000.00 in his first fundraising quarter.

State Senator Dan Innis, Senate District 7, Former Senator for the Seacoast-based District 24, and Small Business Owner, Bradford

“Russell Prescott has a legacy of being one of the best advocates for our Seacoast communities in Concord, which is why I know he will be equally as strong of a representative for all of NH-01 in Washington. The combination of his conservative track record coupled with his independent voice is exactly what we need to defeat Congressman Chris Pappas. Unifying our party early under the banner of a tested leader who has proven he can win tough races is critical to winning next November. I am proud to put my full support behind Russell Prescott for Congress.”

Former State Senator for District 17 and Former State Representative John Reagan, Deerfield

“New Hampshire’s First District needs a leader who has the experience and track record to reflect the common sense conservative Live Free or Die values we pride ourselves on. That man is Russell Prescott. I know him, I trust him, and he has my full support in his campaign for Congress.” 

Former New Hampshire House Speaker Donna Sytek, Salem

“I know that strong and effective leadership doesn’t lend itself to on-the-job training. It is a skill you hone after years of learning the values of your community and effectively representing their interests. Russell Prescott has been so formidable at this that he has the record of being the only Republican to defeat Maggie Hassan for office not only once, but twice. That is the kind of person who can win a congressional seat in New Hampshire, which is exactly why I am happy to support Russell in NH-01.” 

Town Councilor, County Commissioner, and Former State Representative Brian Chirichiello, Derry

“I’ve represented the great people of Derry in many different capacities, so I know what they are looking for in the representative they hope to send to Washington. They want a hardworking congressman who will keep their taxes low, build a better economy, and listen to their everyday concerns. One with experience, a steady temperament, and a record to stand on. That’s Russell Prescott. He is the right person for the job, which is why he has my full support in his race for Congress in NH-01.”
