Jennifer Meets Small Business Owners
Jennifer Horn had an opportunity to meet with small business owners at an event held at Martha’s Exchange in Nashua.
It was beneficial to all as Jennifer had the opportunity to hear the concerns, challenges, and what Washington can do to help expand the New Hampshire economy through small businesses.
It also provided an opportunity to the small business owners to personally meet Jennifer and hear how her core principles and values will benefit not only the people of New Hampshire but America overall.

Jennifer Walks 26.2 in Avon Walk for Breast Cancer
Jennifer took time away from the campaign this weekend to walk 26.2 miles in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.
Jennifer said, "I have been supporting the Avon Foundation's programs for breast cancer research for nearly ten years.
This disease has touched so many families throughout the 2nd District, including my own. Unfortunately, after a valiant fight of almost fifteen years, my cousin recently lost her battle against breast cancer. It is a heart-breaking loss that only strengthens my resolve to do whatever I can to further the effort for a cure.”
“Every three minutes another woman in the United States is diagnosed with breast cancer. We have seen such encouraging advancements in breast cancer research and treatments over the past several years - I am confident that we are on our way to a cure.
Between training and the official walks, I have walked thousands of miles over the years for this cause. One thing I have learned is that when good people come together to fight what is right, they can change the world. I will remain engaged in this fight until a cure is found."
This was Jennifer's eighth Avon walk.
Bill and the boys came to root Jennifer on!

Bristol Trip
Jennifer was in Bristol today. Heidi Milbrand showed us around town.
She is the owner of the lovely Pleasant View Bed & Breakfast and serves as the President of the Newfound Chamber of Commerce.
Heidi is passionate about the challenges facing the folks in The Newfound Lake area.
We had a chance to meet customers and staff at the Bristol Library, the Dead River Company, the Copy Store and the Bristol House of Pizza just to name a few businesses.
We also attended a Business After Hours event that Heidi hosted at her beautiful B& B. We had a chance to connect with the voters from the Newfound Lake region and can't wait to go back!
Back to the North Country!
Another fantastic visit to the North Country - this time it was raining instead of snowing but the folks in Littleton, Whitefield, Colebrook, North Statford and Pittsburg were as warm as ever.
We enjoyed visits with former House Speaker Harold Burns, Coos County Commissioner Bing Judd, Coos County GOP Chairman Scott Mason and Executive Councilor Ray Burton. We were invited to attend one of Councilor Burton's events which was very well attended by folks who are concerned about the rising oil prices, home mortgages and the continued reckless spending of Congress.
In spite of the downpour we enjoyed a stroll down Main St. visiting business owners and meeting shoppers. Did you know that Littleton is home to the world's longest candy counter? Of course a bag of goodies found its way into my hands!
I stopped by Northwinds Farm to talk to Scott Mason about the challenges his business - and so many others - are facing as they try to survive the challenges of the day - oil prices, over-regulation by government agencies and of course, a tax rate that is beginning to cripple many small businesses.
Every time I speak with hardworking folks like Scott I am both encouraged by their determination to succeed and impressed by their committment.
Overall, we had a wonderful and informative trip to the North Country. Our campaign gained supporters and I got to listen to how Congress can better serve those in the North Country. I can't wait to go back!
Concord City GOP Breakfast
Today Jennifer attended the Concord City GOP Breakfast that was held at the historic Robie's Country Store and Deli.
Like everywhere she goes, Jennifer picked up more supporters for her campaign.
It was amazing to be at this historic campaign stop. Jennifer added her campaign bumper sticker to the wall of famous Republican visitors.
Imagine being in the same place where Barry Goldwater, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, George Bush and George W. Bush have campaigned. Many elected New Hampshire state officials make this store a "must do stop" on the campaign trail. We can't wait to go back!
