Peterson endorses Martin
By Brian Lawson, PolitickerNH.com ReporterFormer Republican Gov. Walter Peterson has endorsed the Democratic candidate in the state senate district three race.
Peterson has endorsed Bud Martin (D-Center Sandwich) over Wakefield Republican Bill Denley.
"I appointed Bud Martin to the District Court because of his integrity and commitment to his community and our State. In his time as a judge, Bud has demonstrated these qualities in his extensive work on behalf of children and families," Peterson said in a press release. "It is for these same reasons that I am supporting Bud Martin in his race for the State Senate. He is the kind of leader who will bring people of all parties together to work on behalf of New Hampshire's families and small businesses."
Martin said, "I am incredibly proud to have the support of such a great statesman as Governor Peterson. I hold Walter Peterson as the gold standard in terms of leadership and devotion to this state."

I am starting a new PAC
My new PAC is going to be called
"Law Abiding Citizens for Bud"
Anyone driving through Carroll County is sure to have encountered a "Elect Bill Denley" sign, most often just stuck in random places.
A few of these random places include State Property with his signs stuck right in front of "Private Property, No Trespassing" signs.
Others include sneaking his signs in with legally placed Democratic signs where he does not have permission to place his signs.
If we cannot trust Mr Denley to obey the laws, why should we trust him to write the laws?
Clearly Mr Denley thumbs his nose at our laws just like he thumbs his nose at our children and working classes.
you know you are in big trouble when...
..your campaign starts whining about yard sign placement.
"Law biding..." you must be new to NH politics. If you had been around here for a few cycles, you would know that absolutely NOBODY CARES ABOUT SIGNS!!!!!!!!!!!
nobody cares about signs?!
Not true--EVERYONE is annoyed by signs. I think LACfB is on to something here.
