NH HOMEBUILDERS ENDORSE BOB CLEGG!

Trade Organization, Representing 60,000 NH Citizens, Backs Clegg for Congress

Concord, NH – State Senator and candidate for the 2nd Congressional District in New Hampshire, Bob Clegg was today endorsed by the Home Builders & Remodelers Association of New Hampshire (HBRANH). At an event in Concord this morning, the HBRANH recognized Clegg for his work as a private businessman in the industry and his support of a low tax climate to foster economic security in the construction industry.

"As an influential member of the NH State Senate with a background in construction and property management, Senator Clegg has worked with the HBRANH on numerous occasions on bills fundamental to our cause.” Tricia Grahame, Trustee for the BUILD Political Action Committee of the National Association of Home Builders (BUILD-PAC). “The Senator’s knowledge and support of the building industry and small business issues leads the HBRANH to believe that he will carry this forward to represent NH in Congress."

The HBRANH has a membership of more than one thousand companies, employing more than 60,000 New Hampshire citizens, representing every aspect of the building industry.

“When I was young, I worked in construction and was fortunate enough to eventually be able to own my own small business in the industry. It took hard work, dedication and a climate of low taxes New Hampshire once held dear, to allow me to achieve so much,” said Clegg. “Whether it is those in the industry building homes or those who receive the benefits of their profession, we need to understand that this is a vital industry to our New Hampshire economy and make sure we keep New Hampshire a place where people can succeed.”
