No Good Deed Goes Unrecorded......

Last night, I had the pleasure of attending the New Hampshire Republican Party's fundraiser featuring former Pennsylvania Governor and Secretary of Homeland Security, Tom Ridge. The Bedford home of Dan and Joy Monfried was the venue and close to 100 party activists attended the fundraiser to mingle and raise money for our statewide, grass roots efforts in November.

I had a wonderful time meeting new people and especially enjoyed talking with Governor Ridge, an engaging personality with a tremendous sense of humor, a gift of storytelling and a love of country as well. He talked glowingly of Sen. McCain and reminded all of us of his and Sen. McCain's Vietnam military service. He drove home the point that while the economy is important, foreign affairs is equal to the task in strengthening our borders, our people and our economy. It was a tremendous privilege to be in his presence.

Special thanks again to Dan and Joy Monfried. I met them and their friend, Karen Findlay of Peterborough, along with a whole host of people in Hillsborough County. The conversation was lively and fun. They were tremendous hosts to the crowd at hand and deserve recognition in opening up their beautiful home to new people. The fundraiser was a tremendous success due to their hospitality and generosity.

It's a busy weekend ahead and the campaign is taking shape. Please be sure to reach out to me at bill@boydnh.com with your questions.

See you on the campaign trail, Bill
