DC is broken and just isn’t getting the job done for New Hampshire. Don Bolduc won’t let special interests or partisan politics get in the way of my new mission, serving as your United States Senator.

As Americans, we are protected under the constitution to bear arms.
I have seen firsthand what can happen when people are unable to protect themselves or their families. The federal government must defend the constitution, not adjust it to suit political ideology.
Border security and illegal immigration are about national security
Our current representation has failed to come together and develop an effective strategy. Enhancing the security of our borders is not “anti-immigration.” A weak border allows free access to our citizens by those with anti-American intentions and motivated by radical ideologies.

During his 33 year career with the US Army, he received two awards for valor, five Bronze Star medals, and two Purple Hearts. He led one of the first groups in Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks, riding on horseback to take control of the southern Afghan region from the Taliban. He was also one of the few survivors of both a helicopter crash and a 2,000-pound bomb that inadvertently targeted on his position by friendly fire.
After returning home to New Hampshire, General Bolduc has been a tireless advocate to combat the stigma around and treatment of post-traumatic stress (PTS). He was one of the few senior military officers and the only active duty general officer on record at the time to discuss his own struggles with PTS. His leadership on this issue and others earned him the nickname of “Captain America” and “Everyone’s General” by his fellow officers and soldiers.

Looks like he’s it. Cowardly governor won’t run.
Can this General win? That’s all that matters.
I saw him on War Room a few times.
Seems like he would be good, has had enough of the establishment types.
the problem with a lot of these candidates is that for some dumb reason they are fundraising on winred. won’t go there. they need to get smarter if they want us independents. no money for the gope.

Which BOTH parties have been undermining for 30 years.
Most of the current GOP Senators are assisting the Democrats to a permanent majority with open borders/amnesty.
Another John McCain, albeit with a higher rank.
That's what they all say.
no. he’s special forces. he’s no mccain. but like many other maga, they need to learn to fund raise on independent sites.
According to a WinRed news release:
September 16, 2021
WASHINGTON, D.C. – WinRed announced today that it is reducing its prices. Starting in January 2022, WinRed will move from a 3.8% + 30 cents per transaction model, to a 3.94% flat model with no transaction fees – a 15% reduction in cost.
WinRed launched in June 2019 and has quickly exceeded expectations, signing up over 2,300 campaigns and processing almost $2.5 billion in just over two years. The GOP officially has an answer to ActBlue, which launched 17 years ago in 2004. “Due to our ability to achieve and maintain scale, we are excited to announce that WinRed is lowering our prices,” said Gerrit Lansing, President of WinRed. “The best fundraising platform in politics will continue to expand and grow, designing and providing features and infrastructure that campaigns need to win.”
“When taking into account the full cost of ActBlue’s fees and tips, WinRed has always charged less. Today we extend our lead and look forward to bigger things to come during a successful midterm election for the GOP,” added Lansing.
Of course, you can contribute to national GOP entities on WinRed, but you don't have to.
I use WinRed a lot. The convenience is worth a 4% haircut to me.
The problem with a bunch of independent sites is that one never knows for sure -- at least I don't -- whether it is a legitimate site or a scam. It can be very hard to tell.
not what i heard. those funds from winred are split between nrsc and the candidate, etc.
givesendgo. reputable and christian, much better than leftist gofundme, but even gofundme will get donations from me over winred. of course, the best is the candidate’s or political organization’s own, independent site (e.g., veritas). that’s where my money goes and has gone for 11 years since the debacle with the gope after 2010.
i will continue to consider anedot until i hear they are also directly funding the nrsc and the gope.
What I have read is that WinRed is a private corporation, probably run by some of President Trump’s associates. But I have no first-hand information.
i may be wrong but i remember winred being around long before Trump.
According to their press release, “WinRed launched in June 2019.” I do think it was a Trump initiative.
Trump said to the GOP: "What are you guys doing? The Dems are killing us with their ActBlue. Why can't we do that?"
And the answer was that the fund-raising gravy was divided up among a set of well-connected GOP insiders.
Trump said, to hell with that, and he had some of his people get to work to set up WinRed, of which he was the first and the biggest beneficiary.
This gave the GOPe another reason to hate him.
ok, to each his/her own. i guess i’ve seen so many gope based funding efforts in the last 10 years i’m punch drunk. anyway, although i can’t recall the particulars, i’m sure that winred is not where you want to put your money. even if it’s Trump associated, i don’t trust anyone advising Trump about political candidates at this point. he’s endorsed way to many gope turkeys. i’ll make my own decisions as i have since 2009.
i avoid all gop funding organizations like the plague, as i have done with winred, the nrsc, the gop house pac, etc. zero of my money will go to the likes of mccarthy, mcconnell, graham, cornyn, romney, etc., etc.
i have plenty of truly conservative outlets for my limited funds, and as an independent, i’ll continue with those. one example is rep. Margery Taylor Greene’s pac. much better to give your money to her than winred.
oh well enough said. hopefully my point is made. may God bless all of our contributions to the cause.
This general put on a uniform. That stuff only works for the rats to prove their bonafides. He’ll have to catch lightning in a bottle, part of a wave. Maybe.
