In mid-June, Matt Mowers’ campaign held a “meet and greet cocktail hour” at the Bedford Village Inn. If you plan on voting in the GOP CD-1 primary, you should consider who hosted the cocktail hour. Here is the invitation:
If you know anything about New Hampshire politics, two names immediately jump out. Let’s start with Bill Greiner. That would be the Bill Greiner who publicly supported Jeanne Shaheen in 2020:
Other Republicans backing Shaheen included former Executive Councilors Ruth Griffin of Portsmouth and Peter Spaulding of Hopkinton, former George H. Bush administration official Betty Tamposi of New Castle, Bedford businessman Bill Greiner, New Castle builder Hank Stebbins and former New Hampshire Housing Finance Agency Executive Director Claira Monier of Goffstown.
The next name is Joel Maiola, who held the position of Judd Gregg’s brain … technically, chief-of-staff … while Globalist-Gregg was in the Senate. That would be the Joel Maiola who chaired “Republicans for Lynch”:
Given their track records, I think it is eminently fair to call Greiner and Maiola Democrats. But rather than quibble about labels, let’s just say that Greiner and Maiola represent the sneering, elitist/globalist wing of the GOP that President Trump fought against. The question GOP CD-1 primary voters need to ask is: would these elitist/globalists be supporting Mowers if he were really an America-First Republican?
