Forrester and Van Ostern Camps Caught Up In Illegal Coordination Complaint

Rich Girard has filed a formal and detailed complaint with Attorney General Joe Foster that begins with this.

I am writing to request you investigate what appears to be illegal campaign coordination per RSA 664:2 between the Save the Children Action Network (SCAN) and the gubernatorial campaigns of Republican Jeanie Forrester and Democrat Colin Van Ostern. At the core of the complaint is the Concord lobbying firm Dennehy & Bouley, owned by paid Forrester for Governor consultant Michael Dennehy, a Republican, and Van Ostern for Governor supporter and contributor Mayor Jim Bouley, a Democrat.

Forrester’s flailing campaign didn’t need the ‘attention’ but Democrat candidate Van Ostern could get a polling bump. Democrats will give you a statue if you get away with something like this.

You can read Rich’s entire letter to AG Uncle Joe Foster, here.
