Lee Nyquist Shatters Record for Most Raised by First-time Senate Candidate

June 20, 2012

(New Boston) – Long-time New Boston moderator Lee Nyquist announced that he had raised $65,761.20 in his run for state Senate, shattering the previous record held by a first-time candidate for New Hampshire Senate by over $11,000 or 20%. In 2006, Betsi DeVries reported raising $54,213 in the corresponding June financial report. Furthermore, Mr. Nyquist came just short of matching incumbent state Sen. Maggie Hassan’s first period haul in 2010 of $70,996.

Mr. Nyquist raised his record-breaking total from 361 individuals and organizations, with 90% coming from donors in New Hampshire. Nearly two-thirds of all contributions were of $100 or less. He has $53,091.19 on hand.

“This is true evidence of the clear desire among the citizens of this state to return civility, collegiality, and common sense to Concord,” Mr. Nyquist explained. He added, “We will use our generous contributions to mount a vigorous, professional and constructive campaign in District 9 with a focus on the important challenges we face: improving the economy, preserving public education, and protecting personal liberties.”

–
District 9 includes the towns of Bedford, New Boston, Mont Vernon, Lyndeborough, Greenfield, Peterborough, Temple, Sharon, Hancock, Jaffrey, Dublin, Troy, Fitzwilliam, and Richmond.

    We need leaders with integrity who will put our values first in the state senate. Lee Nyquist is that leader. As a longtime town moderator and community leader, he has the experience we need to keep New Hampshire’s economy moving forward. I hope you will join me in supporting Lee.
    Senator Jeanne Shaheen
    Lee Nyquist has the ability to bring Republicans and Democrats together to solve problems, and he is the kind of leader we need in Concord. He is the right man at the right time for our state.
    Gov. John Lynch
    I am proud to support Lee Nyquist for State Senate. He represents New Hampshire values and he will work in a collaborative way to help our state solve our most pressing challenges. I encourage all the voters of Dublin, Troy, Fitzwilliam, and Richmond–towns that are no longer in District 10 but have been redistricted to District 9, to vote for Lee Nyquist so we can move our state forward.
    Sen. Molly KellyKeene
    Lee Nyquist is truly the right person at the right time to help our legislature return to the principles of good government and bipartisan problem-solving. He will bring insight, intelligence, and experience in bringing people together in Concord.

    As an attorney, town moderator in New Boston, and chair of the Unemployment Compensation Advisory Council, Lee has proven himself to be honest, fair, trustworthy, and hardworking. His public service has been exemplary; but more importantly, he’s a devoted husband and father. I have no doubt that if elected to the state Senate, where I served many years ago, he will serve with the same honor, fairness, and distinction he has shown throughout his career, and work tirelessly to reach across the a…

    We should all strive to elect public servants who are intelligent, dedicated, and who’s only goal is to make a difference. Lee Nyquist is just that kind of person. It is rare to have the chance to elect someone like Lee, so let’s not miss this opportunity.

    I have known Lee for over twenty years as a member of the Manchester Rotary Club. Lee quietly but effective supported the mission of Rotary in service to the community. He has worked hard on committees and supported the many initiatives and projects organized and carried out by the Rotary Club. I am confident he will bring the same energy and effectiveness to the State Senate.

    Lee Nyquist is going to be a smart, compassionate, effective leader for the state of New Hampshire. I can’t do enough to get him elected.
    Amy MarkusHancock
    My support of Lee Nyquist is based both on his character and capability. I’ve known Lee for 20+ years and have been impressed by his honesty, thoughtfulness and innate sense of fairness. In an era where important issues are often complex, I’m looking forward to an well educated, intelligent State Senator that is not driven by dogma but by thoughtful consideration of what is best for his constituents.

    There are many reasons why Lee Nyquist was re elected as Town Moderator for 20 years consecutively. He has had bipartisian support because he listens to his constituents and treats them with respect. Lee Nyquist is an example of New Hampshire moderates who are congenial and use common sense in dealing with issues at hand. The current legislature is working to bring in imported ideologies from outside sources. Lee Nyquist will represent District 9 in a fair and balanced manner.
