Joe Kenney is running a grassroots campaign in his election against Michael Cryans in the District 1 Executive Council seat. In yesterday’s Laconia Daily Sun, there was an article regarding Cryans receiving a “2 to 1 advantage in funds raised”. For those who have been watching the political left’s ability to ‘raise funds’, it is not surprising that Cryans is 2- 1 ahead.
In NH, however, the candidate with the most money is NOT a “lock” for winning elections. In NH, the person with ideas, integrity, and a history of service can easily win with less money. In fact, the Laconia Daily Sun had a similar article on January 4, 2014 saying, “Republican Christopher Boothby of Meredith (Kenney’s primary opponent) has raised more than twice as much money…” By the way, Chris Boothby lost that race.
I actually like the fact that Joe Kenney is willing to take $40,000 out of his own pocket to SERVE NH. It proves Joe has no problem putting his money where his mouth is. Those of us who know Joe, know he is a man of honor. Whether it was as a Colonel in the US Marine Corp or a legislator with a 14 year conservative voting record, voters understand there is a real and substantive difference between the politically backed progressive that is Michael Cryans, and the humble public servant that is Joe Kenney.
Money is only one part of a political campaign. In the end, it is the VOTER with a ballot, that makes the difference. For those of you who are tired of government gone off the rails, get involved and make sure JOE KENNEY is our representative for Executive Council District One. Get the word out there. It is worth MORE than money!
