JOHN,
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I started running for Congress at the age of 23. I had virtually no connections or major endorsements, and many considered me a joke candidate.
I worked as hard as possible and made over 40,000 cold calls. So many people throughout our great state rallied behind me. To this day, it still gives me goosebumps. Our supporters knocked on nearly 100,000 doors, we raised over $500,000 and we earned the votes of almost 7,000 Granite Staters.
Running for Congress and earning the support of so many Granite Staters was a tremendous honor. Running for Congress isn't easy. It's thrilling, yet draining. But, fighting for liberty is a tremendous privilege. I want to thank my family, my volunteers, my donors, and every voter that believed in me. Your support means the world to me and I will never forget it for as long as I live.
Running for Congress required a tremendous sacrifice. I gave up essentially two years worth of income. I poured my heart and soul into the campaign. I fought as hard as I could. And I would do it all over again in a heartbeat.
Together, we offered the people of New Hampshire a real choice they could be proud of. From taking on McCarthy, to calling out Fauci, to blasting Biden's reckless policies, I'm proud of the principled campaign we ran.
Unfortunately, our grassroots campaign did not prevail. Super PACs for my major competitors spent about $6 million. Especially towards the end, the gap was too big to overcome. To all the people that believed in me, it breaks my heart that I wasn't able to do more to overcome this gap. And for that I am sorry. I wanted so badly to prevail, but unfortunately, our campaign didn't have enough gas in the tank.
With this being said, no one likes a sore loser. That does not help the movement for freedom or the people of New Hampshire. I want to be clear, I give my full support to Karoline Leavitt. I hope she defeats Chris Pappas and retires him once and for all.
While we were unable to secure the Republican nomination for New Hampshire's 1st congressional district, I refuse to give up. I'm planning to make an announcement in the near future about how I plan to continue my involvement.
I can promise the people of New Hampshire this: I will be involved for years to come. Unfortunately, you can't get rid of me (haha)! I will grow my business, fight for liberty, and stay engaged in the community. Lastly, this will not be the end for me politically. I will be back.
Our fight for liberty is far from over.
Sincerely,
Tim Baxter
