---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Scott Brown Date: Wednesday, June 25, 2025 Subject: I have something personal to share with you
John,
My name is Scott Brown, and I want to take a few minutes to share my story with you and how the experiences and lessons I’ve learned have led me to make a big decision this week.
I had a challenging upbringing. My mom was married and divorced four times, and my dad was married and divorced three times. I was raised by my single mom, who worked multiple jobs to put food on the table. We didn’t have much, but with the love and support of my grandparents, we had a fighting chance. We moved often—I lived in 17 different places before I turned 18.
I know what it’s like to worry about where your next meal is coming from or whether the bills all get paid. And those early years taught me the value of grit, of resilience, and hard work.
Nothing in my life has ever been handed to me — I’ve had to fight for every step forward.
I worked my way through college and law school, taking any odd job and doing whatever it took to stay afloat.
At 19, I joined the Army National Guard. I served for more than 30 years and retired as a Colonel. I’ve worn our nation’s uniform with pride and know firsthand what it means to serve a cause bigger than yourself.
Back in 2010, I took a leap that many thought was crazy. I ran for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts as a Republican, driven by a belief that people like you deserved a real voice in Washington, not just another career politician. I drove across the state, putting countless miles on my beloved truck, a 2005 GMC Canyon. With the incredible support of grassroots supporters like you from all corners of the country, we pulled off a stunning upset and won, shaking the political establishment to its core.
But that victory was just the start.
I went to Washington as a disruptor, refusing to play the insider games of career politicians. That made me a target. The national Democrats zeroed in, recruiting Elizabeth Warren and pouring tens of millions into a campaign to defeat me. Despite our best efforts, we came up short in that race.
But I wasn’t discouraged. I believed then, and I believe now, that there’s a bigger plan for all of us.
My wife, Gail, and I became four-time grandparents, and we’ve poured our hearts into our family and our New Hampshire community. In 2017, when President Trump asked me to serve as U.S. Ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa, I was honored to represent our nation, strengthen global partnerships, and protect American interests abroad.
Today, I’m writing to you with big news: I’m not done fighting. Our country’s future is at a crossroads, and I’m stepping up again to run for the U.S. Senate in New Hampshire. I’m doing this for you, for our shared values, and for the America we believe in.
You’ve seen what happens when Democrats hold unchecked power…
Runaway inflation…
Chaos at our southern border…
Soft-on-crime policies…
Men in women’s sports and locker rooms…
Foreign policy missteps that weaken our allies and embolden our enemies.
Hardworking Americans like you are being left behind, and we can’t let this radical agenda take over the Senate in 2026. The stakes are just too high.
Here’s the truth: I can’t do this without you.
The Democrats and their elite allies will flood this race with MILLIONS. It’s an open seat in a swing state. They don’t want someone like me—someone who speaks plainly, serves with honor, and refuses to sell out—anywhere near Washington.
That’s why I’m reaching out to you today, asking you to stand with me from Day One.
Scott Brown is a proud husband, father, grandfather, and lifelong public servant.
He wore our nation’s uniform for over 30 years, served as a U.S. Senator, and represented America on the world stage as President Trump’s ambassador.
Now, he’s answering the call to serve again — running to flip New Hampshire’s Senate seat RED and bring real leadership back to Washington.
For nearly 20 years, this seat has been controlled by Democrats while Washington has grown more dysfunctional, more divided, and more out of touch with the American people.
Scott Brown is ready to change that — to restore accountability, defend our values, and fight for the American Dream.
But he can’t do it without a strong grassroots team behind him.
Scott Brown is a retired member of the U.S. Army. Use of his military rank, job titles, and photographs in uniform does not imply endorsement by the Army or the Department of Defense.
