This might make the unity breakfast a bit awkward. Granite PAC, which I mentioned yesterday as the source of the attack mailer on Rep Melissa Blasek, spent money to go after six Republican House reps with primaries.
First, this PAC claimed that it exists for one purpose. To support Chris Sununu.
But in a separate filing, PAC Chair, and Treasurer Alex Stanford notified the Secretary of State that it was spending over 25,000.00 to oppose a handful of NH House Republicans.
Here’s a screen grab of the vital part.
You could buy some support for Republicans (against Democrats) with that sort of cash, but hey, if a pro-Sununu PAC minion wants to go after Republicans who tried to hold the Governor in check when he went off the rails, it’s their money. And we can only assume the donors were good with it, but who were they?
Between 10/15/2021 and 11/17/2021, “ten” donors, all with NH addresses, funneled 225,000.00 into the PAC. From Amherst, Auburn, Hooksett, Dover, and six addresses in Portsmouth (all of those in office or industrial parks).
None of the Corporate or International Drive addresses have business or donor names..
And for the record, nothing illegal or obviously illict or irregular (people with more experience, by all means, correct me if I’m wrong). But a pro-Republican PAC supporting the governor invested more than $25,000.00 to attack NH House Reps, who are all better Republicans and defenders of the US and NH Constitutions than Chris Sununu.
In 2022 Blasek, Sylvia, Silber, and Terry all have 100% NHHRA scores. Abramson has a 90.8%, and Yokela has an 87.6.
Blasek, Sylvia, and Yokela did sponsor a resolution to investigate impeaching Sununu for abuse of executive and emergency power. I guess his Excellency knows how to hold a grudge – sorry, I meant the guy running the Super PAC supporting him. We wouldn’t want to imply coordination. That would be illegal.
I’ll be back with details on the donor list, so stay tuned.
If you have tips about anyone on the donor list, please pass that along.
