Brad Ashford to New Hampshire?

Tonight, Brad Ashford is kicking off his 2016 campaign just as Hillary Clinton, whom Ashford has endorsed, is on the ropes in New Hampshire and facing a major deficit in the polls only hours before votes are cast. Many Democrats are already sweating socialist Bernie Sanders’ ascendant campaign, but none more than vulnerable Democrats in Republican districts like Ashford.

So after Ashford shakes some hands and kisses some babies tonight, will he be hopping on a flight to New Hampshire to help stop the Clinton campaign’s downward spiral? After all, wouldn’t Ashford be in a tough spot this November with a socialist at the top of the ticket in a Republican leaning district?

NRCC Comment: “After his campaign kickoff tonight, will Democrat Brad Ashford be heading to New Hampshire to help Hillary’s flailing campaign avoid a crushing loss in the Granite State? After all, it is vulnerable Democrats like Ashford who represent Republican districts that would suffer most from having a self-proclaimed socialist as the Democrat nominee for president in November.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Hunter
