Rep. Frank Edelblut to Receive Americans for Prosperity 2016 Tom Thomson Conservative of the Year Award at Christmas Party December 9th

MANCHESTER – Americans for Prosperity – New Hampshire (AFP-NH) today announced that State Representative Frank Edelblut will receive the organization’s coveted 2016 Tom Thomson Conservative of the Year award.  Edelblut, who finished 2nd in the Republican primary for Governor, scored a perfect 100% in the AFP-NH 2016 Legislative Scorecard and led efforts to oppose ObamaCare expansion and health care regulations in New Hampshire.  He also sponsored tax relief legislation for employers that quadrupled expense deductions.

“Frank Edelblut has been a leader on the issues of economic freedom throughout 2016, and it’s only appropriate that he receive the 2016 Tom Thomson Conservative of the Year award,” said Greg Moore, AFP-NH State Director.  “As a legislator, he demonstrated leadership in opposing efforts to grow government by expanding ObamaCare in New Hampshire and fought health care regulations that drive up the cost of care.  At the same time, he sponsored tax relief for employers that is creating explosive growth in our economy.  As a candidate for Governor, he had a consistent message of shrinking government and expanding freedom.  He truly believes, as our Honorary Chairman Tom Thomson says, that ‘Low taxes are the result of low spending.’  Frank was an easy choice for this award.”

“It’s an honor for me to present this award to Rep. Frank Edelbut, a very successful businessman who believes in low taxes, smaller government and less regulation, which will equal ‘Prosperity’ for our State,” added Tom Thomson, Honorary Chairman of AFP-NH.

Edelblut will receive the award at AFP-NH’s annual Christmas Party, which will be held on December 9th at Murphy’s Taproom in Manchester.  In addition to the Conservative of the Year, the group will also award the Freedom Fighter of the Year, given to the top volunteer.

“I was thrilled to work with Americans for Prosperity on a number of important issues, working to ensure state government stays small and accountable,” said Rep. Edelblut.  “This award means a lot because there are a number of great people who have worked hard to defend economic freedom across New Hampshire.  We need to continue the fight to grow our economy, create good, new jobs and expand opportunity to every New Hampshire citizen.  I’m thankful being AFP’s Conservative of the Year and look forward to a great event on the 9th.”
