• SENTINEL EDITORIAL: Tea parties expressed honest frustration

  04/21/2009

  On April 15, proud residents of the Granite State took time away from their jobs and their families to stand up and make their voices heard on issues they believed were vitally important to their country. More than 3,000 New Hampshire residents joined concerned citizens across the nation to voice their frustrations with a government that has gone too far: a government that has grown too big, spent too much and come too close to trampling on the constitutional rights of too many.

  Last year's Republican nominee in New Hampshire's 2nd Congressional District returns to her former life as a radio talk show host this week.

• OP-ED: Congress Buries the American Dream

  02/21/2009

  In a Union Leader guest editorial on Friday, Rep. Hodes dramatically finished his missile of mis-information with the words: “Perhaps just as important is the down payment on the American dream.” This Congress is burying the American Dream and Mr. Hodes is holding the shovel. First, it is clear that Mr. Hodes does not understand what the American Dream is really all about. We citizens of the greatest nation on earth dream not of government dependence, but of independence. We dream of being able to take the product of our own hard work and use it as we see fit to care for our families, save for their education and one day perhaps even retire in basic comfort.

• OP-ED: This Congress has betrayed the American people

  02/16/2009

  The ill-named American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is a complete and total rejection of the democratic ideals of our founding fathers and a betrayal of the President’s promise to bring genuine tax relief to the majority of American taxpayers and work across the aisle on the most important issues of the day. At 789 billion dollars, plus interest on repayment, it is a spending package that will ultimately cost the people of America well in excess of a trillion dollars. 789 billion dollars is nine zeros and approximately 17.5% of our GDP! According to one evaluation of the bill, if the temporary programs become permanent programs – an outcome that we all know is possible – the total value of this spending package will exceed three trillion dollars. At every level of government we have been betrayed by our elected representatives. Representative Paul Hodes rejected the Wall St bailout because, in his words, it did not protect the taxpayers “enough.” Immediately following the election he voted for the auto industry bailout and more recently for the so-called stimulus package.

• Jennifer Horn: Congress must find bipartisan solutions

  11/11/2008

  UNION LEADER OP-ED: The 111th Congress will be called upon to show leadership in the face of some of the most difficult circumstances of our lifetime.

• 'Newcomers' battle for 2nd Congressional District

  10/19/2008

• Hodes, Horn take swipes in debate

  10/18/2008

Republican challenger Jennifer Horn, of Nashua, tried to turn the tables Thursday, accusing Hodes, the first-term congressman, of "looking the other way'' on financial regulation while taking $141,448 from banking, insurance and real estate entities as a member of the House Financial Services Committee.

• NASHUA TELEGRAPH ENDORSES JENNIFER HORN

  09/06/2008

  Horn GOP best bet in 2nd District race In any other election year, a congressional candidate whose primary credentials consist of raising a family, writing a newspaper column and hosting a radio talk show would be the dark horse. But not this year. In any other year, a longtime state senator, a seasoned political operative or a former Green Beret turned lawyer would seem to have the advantage. But not this year. Not in a year when a little-known hockey mom turned governor of Alaska has captured the attention of the nation as the GOP vice-presidential nominee. Not in a year when the party of Lincoln is hoping to recast itself as the party of outsiders, the party of change, the party of mavericks. They say timing is everything, and former Telegraph columnist Jennifer Horn, of Nashua, could not have better timed her decision to run for Congress in the state's 2nd Congressional District. The other candidates on the Republican primary ballot Tuesday may have resumes that more closely match the traditional assumptions about qualifications, but Horn's candidacy is perfectly suited to the times and the mood of the nation. She is a fresh face with an engaging personality and an almost messianic zeal for the core principles of the GOP on both fiscal and social issues. Every successful salesman knows that selling is an exchange of positive energy, and Horn has plenty to go around as she attempts to sell herself to voters. She energizes her supporters in a way that her opponents cannot match, and she would be the most effective of the four in taking on incumbent Democrat Paul Hodes.

  09/03/2008

  Jennifer Horn looked at the country, looked to Washington, D.C., and Congress. If the status quo was going to be upset, the Nashua resident thought, then she had to be involved. She was going to run for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. “We had spent too many years saying ‘Somebody else will do it, somebody else will fix it, somebody else will take care of it,’ ” Horn said Tuesday in a meeting with Sentinel editors. “I just reject the mentality, that ‘It’s going to be the same old thing, they’re all the same, everybody who goes down there is the same.’ “You don’t accept that in your personal life. You don’t associate with people that are corrupt. You don’t do business with people who have cheated you and then turn around and do business with them again. Why would we allow that standard to apply to Washington? We have to reject it as citizens, as lovers of what our democracy is supposed to be.”

I am honored to have Representative Bob Elliot endorse my campaign to retire Paul Hodes. He is a leader in the Salem community and is a strong voice for his constituents in Concord. Bob understands that I am the candidate who will go to Congress and change the way Washington works.”

• Concord Monitor Letter to the Editor

  09/01/2008

  Two years ago when Paul Hodes was running for Congress he promised to take his backbone with him to Washington. Well, he has kept his promise, sort of. With a voting record of supporting Nancy Pelosi's radical agenda 98 percent of the time, Hodes may have taken his backbone to Washington but he has failed to unpack it upon arrival. All the Republicans running in the primary to unseat Hodes are eminently qualified to serve the voters of the 2nd District; however, there is one candidate who stands out as a breath of political fresh air, Jennifer Horn. Horn's "Move America Forward" 10-point agenda would end Congress's failure to address energy independence, national security and the American economy. Five of her agenda items, not necessarily in order of priority, are making America energy independent, winning the war on terror, returning integrity to government, lowering health insurance costs and fighting for veterans. Electing Horn to Congress means there would be one less congressman who is owned outright by special interest groups. ROBERT C. WASHBURN Concord

She's the first member of the talk radio tribe, so far as I know, to give up her radio perch to run for Congress.

• UNION LEADER ENDORSES JENNIFER HORN!

  08/14/2008

  Horn in the 2nd: A new Republican voice There are several strong candidates running for the Republican nomination for Congress in New Hampshire's 2nd District. The strongest of the lot is Nashua's Jennifer Horn. We cannot recall a novice candidate so clearly ready to step into the job of representing New Hampshire in Congress. Horn, a former newspaper columnist and radio talk show host, understands the issues of the day very well. And she comes down on the right side of them, too. We found her views to be well-reasoned and articulate. She understands the need to reduce spending and shrink the size of government, and not just around the edges. She is a strong advocate of tackling the runaway entitlement spending that leads to high taxes and slowed economic growth. On energy policy, she proposes that government get out of the way and let the market solve the supply problem, which is a wise policy. She supports more nuclear power and domestic oil production as well as making it easier for companies to pursue alternative energy sources. She is adamant that the government must control our borders and win the War on Terror, including its primary front in Iraq. And she supports term limits, which is the best reform of Congress we could have.

• JENNIFER HORN UNVEILS 10-POINT PLAN TO "MOVE AMERICA FORWARD"

  08/06/2008

During my first term in congress, I pledge to the voters of the 2nd District that I will fight for each of these issues so that we can Move America Forward.”

• CONCORD MONITOR: Horn Stresses Family Ties in Run Political Observers Praise House Hopeful

  07/26/2008

  Jennifer Horn meandered through Concord's downtown Market Days late last week, stopping at booths and introducing herself. Dressed in a black top and spotless white Capri pants, Horn extended her hand to one woman who smiled and begged off. "I'm covered in ketchup," the woman said. "I have five kids," Horn said, returning the smile. "I'm frequently covered in ketchup." Horn, 44, of Nashua, is one of five Republicans vying for a chance to unseat Democrat Paul Hodes in the state's 2nd Congressional District, which includes Concord. She has never run for public office and admits she wasn't always political. But she has raised a family - a point she brings up often. "My political education has probably come through the activity of being a parent, being a mother," said Horn, who has four teenage sons and a stepdaughter. "There's nothing that connects you more surely to what's happening in the world than being responsible for the life of another person." Although Horn is new to campaigning, she's so far shown a savvy that belies what you'd expect from a first-timer. She's hired experienced staffers, launched a professional website and been willing to attack her opponents - and hit back when she's attacked. (A recent press release rebutting a rival's claim that she misused campaign money was titled, "Grant 'Make Up the Facts' Bosse Strikes Again.") "She's someone who's come out of nowhere politically . . . who's running for office and showing political acumen that most first-time candidates would dream of," said Wayne Lesperance, an associate professor of political science at New England College and political observer. "She's holding her own."

• HORN: WE NEED TO REFORM CONGRESS

  10/30/2008

  Jennifer Horn, Republican candidate for Congress, called for an end to business as usual in Washington. Jennifer Horn: “Whether it’s the impending mortgage crisis, investigating members of his party or holding his leadership accountable, Paul Hodes has consistently looked the other way. Washington has become too big, too corrupt and too controlled by special interests – and we all pay the prices. Our economy is a mess; people are losing their jobs, their homes and their retirement. It’s time that our Representatives in Washington feel more accountable to the people than their political party or special interests. We can do better." Paul Hodes has had his chance and he has failed. Jennifer Horn will fight to end corruption, to make Congress work for the people once again, and she will always put the interests of New Hampshire before all else.

• NEW HAMPSHIRE FAMILIES CANT AFFORD TWO MORE YEARS OF PAUL HODES

  10/21/2008

  Jennifer Horn, Republican candidate for Congress, spoke on energy independence and the economy today at a press conference from The Red Blazer Restaurant in Concord. Jennifer Horn: “A long term energy strategy is the key to our economic development. We have had an energy crisis for over 30 years, and if we leave it up to Paul Hodes and this Congress, they will continue to talk about the need for energy independence, but actually not do anything about it. Energy Independence is an economic, security and environmental problem and its time to send someone to congress who will actually work to do something about it and not make excuses.”

• HODES RESPONSIBLE FOR ECONOMIC CRISIS

  10/09/2008

  In 2006, Paul Hodes criticized Charlie Bass for sitting on the Energy and Commerce Committee and not protecting New Hampshire consumers while taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from the very industries he is supposed to be regulating. In 2008, we are in an economic crisis and Paul Hodes sits on the Financial Services Committee. He looked the other way, while taking hundreds of thousands of dollars from the industries he is supposed to be regulating. People are losing their homes. People are losing their jobs, their savings, and their retirement because Paul Hodes has chosen to fill his bank account instead of protecting his constituents.”

• HODES CAMPAIGN BOUGHT BY SPECIAL INTERESTS

  10/07/2008

• JENNIFER HORN STATEMENT ON HOUSE BAILOUT VOTE

  10/03/2008

  At its core, this is a failure of government – a failure of government oversight, a failure of Representatives to put the voters above the special interests, a failure of leadership. It is unconscionable that tax payers are now being called upon to pay for the failure of government to the tune of $700 billion.

• HORN TO HODES: STOP FINGER POINTING AND START WORKING ON ECONOMIC PROBLEM

  09/30/2008

  Now Paul Hodes is playing the finger pointing game. Paul Hodes sits on the Financial Services Committee and his party controls Congress. There is no one else to blame for the economic crisis. That’s just typical Washington politics - try and pass blame instead of finding solutions. New Hampshire voters didn’t hire you for excuses, they hired you to get something done – be a part of the solution, not part of the problem.

• Jennifer Horn Statement on the Economic Bailout Legislation

  09/29/2008

  I oppose a bailout. We don’t need more big government programs to the tune of $700 billion of taxpayer’s money. Government is already too big and has proven to be irresponsible with our money.
