Is the RCRC Senator Gannon’s Water Carrier?

Though I’m neither a resident nor a paid member, I wound up on the Rockingham County Republican Committee (RCRC) email list some time ago after buying a raffle ticket.

Sununu — not the incumbent, but his father, Gov. John H. Sununu, who served from 1983 to 1989.
