Complete Transcript of Announcement Video

It’s been a while since you elected me to serve New Hampshire. And boy have things changed.

 Washington’s never been perfect, it’s not meant to be. But when I was there people with different opinions would get together, work things out, and come to solutions that made a real difference. But now Congress just seems … loud, dysfunctional - even angry. 

But, Granite stater’s still talk. We don’t always agree, but we respect one another and work together for the common good. That’s the New Hampshire way.

 Maybe you’re surprised to hear that I’m running for the Senate again. I’m a bit surprised myself. 

Why would anyone subject themselves to everything going on there right now? 

Well somebody has to step up and lower the temperature. Somebody has to get things done. Laser focus on the economy, jobs, our debt and making our lives more affordable. Somebody has to protect Medicare, do better for our veterans, and really tackle our healthcare costs. And, on social security we keep our promises to seniors, all of them.

 Over twelve years I never voted to cut benefits and I never will.

I’d be honored to have your support and return to the Senate to help calm the waters. 

As senator, I’ll have just one job: stand up for people of New Hampshire every single day. The New Hampshire way needs to be the American way.  Thanks for considering me. I’ll see you around.
