I’m so grateful for the strong support Republicans gave me as Governor.

I ran for Governor as an outsider who wanted to shake things up and change the status quo. As an entrepreneur who ran the largest company in New Hampshire, I knew we could run the state more like a business, spend less money, cut taxes and make government more efficient for Granite Staters.

After six years of political gridlock in Concord, people were tired of the status quo. They wanted someone from the outside to come in and do things differently and that’s what I did when I was elected.

Now, our country is a disaster because of the political corruption in Washington, DC. The politicians are controlling every aspect of our lives: intrusive business regulations, the strangulation of our American energy market, the out-of-control government spending that has led to record inflation, and the unspeakable crisis at the southern border that brings criminals and drugs into our states. Even worse is the disrespect and contempt we have seen aimed at our police and first responders, it's time for change.

We need to send someone to Washington who is different and has a history of putting America first. That Republican candidate is Kevin Smith.
