Jack Barnes (R-Raymond) former Executive Councilor Ruth Griffin, former GOP state Chairman Wayne Semprini, Dick Flynn and state Reps. Peter Batula (R-Merrimack) and Carolyn Brown (R-North Conway) will serve as campaign co-chairs.
"These leaders represent some of the soundest political minds in the state," Stephen said in a press release. "They will be tremendous assets and will provide great advice to the campaign and me as we move forward and I am tremendously grateful for their help in getting me elected to Congress. Each of these men and women shares my strong belief about the need to bring New Hampshire values to Washington."
