Russell Prescott Announces

Another Round of NH Endorsements

September 5, 2023

Exeter, NH - After announcing that his campaign war chest has surpassed $400,000 and unveiling an impressive first round of endorsements, Russell Prescott is now releasing his second round of endorsements.

Former NHGOP Chairman Wayne MacDonald, Londonderry

“I’ve worked alongside Russell Prescott for many years, and I trust him. I have seen him defeat Democrats like Maggie Hassan when others could not, and I have watched him govern in a conservative way that still brings in the independent votes we need to win in swing districts. I’m proud to be one of Russell’s early endorsements as we work to unify our party in order to defeat Congressman Chris Pappas.”

Former State Senator for District 19 and former State Representative, Jim Rausch, Derry

“Derry and its surrounding communities deserve an advocate in Washington who will put their families’ interests first, and I am beyond confident that Russell Prescott is the right person for that job. He has the experience, record, and temperament that I wish we saw more of on Capitol Hill. Russell is the right candidate to take on Chris Pappas, and I look forward to working hard to ensure he is elected as our New Hampshire’s First District Congressman next year.”

Former State Senator for District 16 and former State Representative, David Boutin, Hooksett

“Hooksett and Manchester families have struggled under the failures of career politicians like Chris Pappas in Washington. We need a fresh voice who knows our state and our communities, which is why I’m fully supporting Russell Prescott for Congress. I trust him to bring New Hampshire values to the Halls of Congress, and to ensure our Live Free or Die mindset is reflected in the representation we send there."

Former State Senate President and Senator for District 10, Tom Eaton, Keene

“As President of the State Senate, I counted on Russell Prescott’s leadership and steady hand to ensure our fiscally conservative policies advanced and benefited New Hampshire families. Russell always proved himself to be a fair, principled, and thoughtful voice in Concord, which is why I know he will do the same in Congress. He has my full endorsement in NH-01.”

State Representative and School Board Member, Carlos Gonzalez, Manchester

“I’ve worked with Russell Prescott for decades at the State House, and I trust him implicitly. I have seen his leadership firsthand, and I am confident he understands the struggles of Manchester’s hardworking families. He will fight for us in Washington. He has my total support in his campaign for Congress.”
