Jeb picks up endorsements from NH veterans

Today, we announced our initial Jeb 2016 New Hampshire Veterans Coalition, as first reported by the Union Leader. These 55 veterans join the hundreds of veterans across the country, including 12 medal of honor recipients and over 30 flag officers, who understand Jeb’s commitment to our country’s military men, women and families and the importance of electing someone who is prepared to be Commander-in-Chief. Please see below for the full list and a read more from the Union Leader.


Union Leader: Bush picks up endorsement from NH veterans group
Dan Tuohy 

Jeb Bush has announced an endorsement from a New Hampshire veterans coalition of 55 veterans from across the state.

Jim Adams, a Navy veteran from Pittsfield, will serve as chairman of the coalition for the Republican presidential hopeful and former Florida governor. Members include Rep. Russell Ober of Hudson, Rep. Kevin Waterhouse of Windham, former Manchester Mayor Emile Beaulieu, former state Rep. Dan Hughes of New Castle, and former Sen. Jack Barnes of Raymond.

“We need a President who will have our veterans’ backs, fight to get them the care they deserve and deliver on promises to find them stable employment when they leave the service,” Adams said in a statement.


Former state Sen. Gary Lambert, a retired U.S. Marine Corps Reserve colonel and former congressional candidate, is co-chairman of the Bush coalition.

Bush has a seven-step plan to "keep America's promise to our veterans.” The plan includes modernizing the Department of Veterans Affairs, restoring troop levels, and expanding Veterans Choice in the Veterans Health Administration.
