“Jim Forsythe is the type of hard-working and principled leader that we need in the State Senate. He will bring the energy and new ideas necessary to turn New Hampshire around. Jim’s grassroots political activism to protect our personal freedoms and lower taxes prove that he will be a man of his word and fight adamantly for his constituents. As a US Senator, I voted against the federal budget every year I was in office because they were all projected to create a deficit. Jim Forsythe knows the detrimental effects that budget deficits can have on our economy, and will work to close the gap by cutting wasteful spending. If you would like to see fiscal responsibility and a strong economy restored in New Hampshire, then I encourage you to support Jim Forsythe for State Senate in District 4.”
Former US Senator Gordon Humphrey

I encourage the voters of the 4th District to join me in supporting Jim Forsythe for State Senate.”

I am proud to call Jim my friend and look forward to his election this fall.”
