DeSantis Campaign Press Release - DeSantis Earns 18 Additional New Hampshire Endorsements in Sign of Growing Grassroots Momentum
DeSantis now boasts 100 state and local endorsements
Tallahassee, FL - In a sign of growing grassroots momentum, Ron DeSantis added 18 state and local endorsements in New Hampshire, including state representatives Joe Guthrie (R-Hampstead), Travis O'Hara (R-Belmont), and Walter "Terry" Spilsbury (R-Charlestown). DeSantis has now earned the endorsements of 65 state legislators and a total of 100 state and local endorsements in the Granite State.
"Ron DeSantis is a tested fiscal conservative, exactly what our country needs at this critical time. Evidence of his responsible leadership is clear: in Florida, he reduced regulation, kept spending and taxes low, and retired 25% of state debt. To ensure that fiscal responsibility remains the New Hampshire way, I ran for public office; and, to ensure this type of leadership at the federal government also, I'm proud to endorse Ron DeSantis for President," said Rep. Spilsbury.
"Republicans need a leader who can win again. Ron DeSantis's stunning 20-point victory in Florida last year is what we need to elect Republicans up and down the ballot to turn our country around. From resisting Dr. Fauci's COVID lockdowns to expanding the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, Governor DeSantis's strong conservative record separates him from the rest of the field, and that's why I'm proud to endorse Ron DeSantis for President," said Rep. O'Hara.
DeSantis unveiled his New Hampshire Veterans Coalition Leadership Team last month. In September, faith leaders in New Hampshire joined DeSantis' Faith and Freedom Coalition.
