No Good Deed Goes Unrecorded...(continued)

Good morning, Folks! The campaign is operating on all cylinders and I have been working hard all over Hillsborough County promoting to people that "No Good Deed Goes Unrecorded."

Last Thursday, I ran the Cigna/Elliott 5K in Manchester with close to 5,000 race participants. I was looking to break 22 minutes for the race. Lo' and behold, I shattered that mark by over 30 seconds!!! I ran the course in 21:24 averaging 6:54 per mile. I was elated with my run. Afterwards, I mingled with my fellow runners over at Veterans Park, the staging area for this great event. It was well-attended, but most importantly, it was well-managed. The volunteers for these races deserve special credit for setting up, taking care of the participants, and breaking down this big event. Great time. A big "Thank you" to "Media" Dan Pinard with the strategic sign placements along West Merrimack Street.

On Friday, I attended the Milford GOP Spaghetti Dinner. 100 people attended event which was well run by the watchful eye of Milford's GOP Chair Steve Bogotysan. US Sen. John Sununu and NH Sen. and gubernatorial candidate Joe Kenney were keynoting the event and rallied the masses to work for the GOP slate this fall. Sen. Kenney was kind enough to stop and pose for this picture below. He and I are running very similar campaigns: grass-roots oriented building name recognition and voter ID along the way with a specific message of innovation and efficient government. He's a tireless campaigner and will be one of the big reasons why Republicans will do very well this fall. I am behind Joe 100%.

This past weekend, I travelled the Route 101 corridor visiting the transfer stations and meeting people. One of the events I went to afterwards was the Lyndeborough Community Day Festival. I specifically went to the Flag Retirement Ceremony held on the grounds of Lyndeborough Town Hall. The Lafayette Artillery, the second oldest active artillery units in the country, was present to preside over this solemn ceremony. Once the flags had been approrpriately retired, they fired a 3 shot salute with their 1844 cannon, historically preserved for occasions such as this - an absolutely beautiful and impressive piece of equipment! I was asked by the Artillery captain to fire one of the three shots which I was honored to do. It was an unbelievably "loud" and thrilling experience. Here I am pictured above with Artillery corporal Tony Buscemi of New Ipswich at the front of the cannon. Special thanks to Artillery captain and Town Moderator Walter Holland for extending his most gracious invitation to fire the cannon. A big thank you as well to Selectman Frank Holden and Marge Hallyburton for inviting me to their community day fun. I met great people and enjoy their company immensely.

The campaign is taking great shape. I am working the county visiting all sorts of events and introducing myself to people and talking to them about why I should be the next Register of Deeds. Check out my events page as Michele and I attended the Our Lady of Cedars Church Mahrajan Lebanese Festival in Manchester this past Sunday. Fr. Tom Steinmetz and the Cedars community know how to put on a great event!

See you on the roads of the campaign trail!
