On Friday Former US Senator John E. Sununu joined Jim for a fundraiser at the Soda Shoppe in Laconia to talk about the importance of electing principled conservatives like Jim to the state house. Sen. Sununu encouraged the attendees to get out and vote on November 2nd, and to get their friends and family to go vote as well, because a few hundred votes sometimes can make the difference in a local race. He then introduced Jim, who spoke about how our state has a spending problem, not a revenue problem, and why he signed the pledge to vote against any new broad-based tax. Later, Jim answered questions from those in attendance.

We would like to thank the Soda Shoppe for hosting us and Sen. Sununu for taking the time out of his busy schedule to show his support for Jim.

In Senate District 4, Republican Jim Forsythe is the obvious choice. An entrepreneur and academic, Forsythe is a bright and inquisitive guy who already has developed a deep understanding of state issues on everything from the budget to education funding to business regulations. We have no doubt that, if elected, he will quickly become a leader, not only in the efforts to control state spending and lower taxes, but in developing new ways to conduct state business more effectively and efficiently.

Yesterday was Jim’s 42nd Birthday, and to all of you who helped us celebrate by donating $42 (or more!) we’d like to extend our sincere gratitude! Thanks to you, we raised more than $1450 in one day, which will help us kick off the month of October with a bang!

As the donations were coming in, Jim was out in the pouring down rain with Luke, a field staffer for Tim Pawlenty’s Freedom First PAC who is here in New Hampshire helping conservative candidates get elected.

CONCORD – Today, the Joint Legislative Committee on Administrative Rules is meeting in Concord to attempt to rewrite the rules governing the use of money in the Joint Underwriters Association Fund. Earlier this year the State Supreme Court ruled that Governor Lynch could not use the $110 million from the JUA to balance his budget. Now the governor is attempting to rewrite these rules. Republican State Senate Candidate Jim Forsythe called on Senator Kathy Sgambati (D-Tilton), a member of the committee, to immediately reject the plan, which would allow the state to confiscate private property from New Hampshire doctors, nurses, and healthcare providers.

For the GOP, a lot is riding on primary winners Jim Forsythe, Jeannie Forrester and Jim Luther.

The party is banking on Forsythe to win back the traditionally Republican Lakes Region district, now held by Democratic senator Kathy Sgambati, who’s stepping down.

“I came here seven years ago when the state championed limited government and personal freedom and responsibility, and I’ve seen that go downhill,” Forsythe said earlier this year.

Forsythe said he believes New Hampshire now has a “hostile business climate that’s hurting job creation” and hopes to contribute to turning that around.

“I think people are looking for new energy and new ideas in Concord,” Forsythe said.

Forrester agreed.

“We’re outsiders bringing in a fresh perspective,” she said. “I think that’s what people want right now. What I hear out there is a lot of anger and disenchantment.”
