Vets for Jeb

Jeb Bradley speaks to Belknap County GOP (GG file photo)

US House candidate Jeb Bradley’s office has released an impressive listing of veterans announcing their support in the upcoming Republican primary. Of the list, I know Al Baldasaro, Natalie Healy, Bob Jones, and Susan Peterson rather well, and greatly respect their judgement. Obtaining the public support of the people named and those they influence undoubtedly represents a major step for Jeb as he seeks the nomination to take on Carol Shea Porter in November. [UPDATE: Jeb will join us Saturday morning on the radio division of the ‘Grok, Meet the New Press]

“VETS FOR JEB” TEAM FORMED

Jeb Bradley Releases “First 50”List of Veteran Supporters for Jeb

 Wolfboro, NH – Jeb Bradley today released, with great pride, the first 50 members of his Vets for Jeb team. Comprised of 50 military veterans from across the New Hampshire, the team will advise Jeb on veteran related issues and assist him in spreading his message of support for needs of our veterans.  “It is with great honor I announce the first fifty members of my Veterans for Jeb team,” Bradley said. “We owe these men and women our most precious freedoms and they deserve in turn to be treated with honor and respect from our government. That is something I have always fought for and will continue to, when I am elected in November.”

 “Jeb worked to increase veterans healthcare funding while in Congress, and successfully fought to reject proposals to raise healthcare costs for retired military members and their families. He fought for us, now we’ll fight for him,” said Paul Chevalier, Past State Commander of New Hampshire Veterans of Foreign Wars.

"Jeb always fought for veterans in New Hampshire. He worked to keep the emergency room at the Manchester VA Hospital open and provide veterans with a new outpatient clinic in Somersworth. Jeb didn’t just talk about what he would do —he made things happen" said Al Baldasaro a State Representative from Londonderry and a Marine.
