Forrester Says She’ll Support Trump; Joins Sununu and Gatsas

Concord, N.H. – Given their shared desire to repeal Medicaid expansion, defund Planned Parenthood and block investment in renewable energy, it seemed only natural that State Senator and gubernatorial candidate Jeanie Forrester would back Donald Trump for president.

Wednesday, she made it official.

Forrester’s top advisor, Mike Denehy told NH1<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=26ad726327&e=aac58c81e5>, “Jeanie will support the Republican nominee for President. If he comes to campaign in NH as the Republican nominee and wants to campaign with Jeanie then she would be glad to do it.”

Forrester is the latest Republican gubernatorial candidate to jump on the Trump train.

Executive Councilor Chris Sununu, who stated his support<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=1ea153e9d6&e=aac58c81e5> months ago, confirmed his support again Wednesday, telling WMUR<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=78f5278c59&e=aac58c81e5>, “If Donald Trump is the nominee, I’m supporting Donald Trump.”

Mayor Ted Gatsas also doubled down on his support<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=6496147aec&e=aac58c81e5>, saying, “As I’ve said all along, I will support the republican nominee. As it looks to be Donald Trump, I of course will campaign with him in New Hampshire.”

“The Republican candidates’ eagerness to latch themselves to Donald Trump’s far-right candidacy and destructive policies show just how out-of-touch they are with mainstream Granite Staters,” said NHDP Chair Ray Buckley. “I’m confident that whichever candidate ends up on the Trump ticket, they’ll be soundly rejected this November.”

Granite State Republicans have been sounding alarm bells for months about a Trump candidacy. Former GOP Governor John H. Sununu said in January<http://nhdp.us6.list-manage.com/track/click?u=99da013f2bd49930e82805c66&id=2a00955ea8&e=aac58c81e5>, “Here in New Hampshire, if Donald Trump is the nominee, we will not get a Republican governor. We will lose the New Hampshire state Senate, and we could lose the New Hampshire state House… and we could lose Sen. [Kelly] Ayotte.”

“It’s not often I agree with John Sununu,” said Buckley. “But in this case, I couldn’t have said it better myself.”
