Vikram announces first batch of endorsements for Congressional bid

LINCOLN, NH – Vikram Mansharamani of Lincoln, released on Wedensdday an initial list of New Hampshire endorsements for his Second Congressional District campaign. The names include current and former office-holders, GOP activists, business leaders, and concerned citizens.

“I am honored to have the support of these incredible leaders and this list shows the broad support this campaign is attracting. Republicans need to be united if we are going to win in November and I am committed to doing that,” said Mansharamani. “I entered this race only a few days ago and the campaign has generated incredible momentum on all fronts. We raised $200,000 in the first 72 hours and are building a broad coalition of support to win not only the primary in September but also the the general election in the fall. Together we will secure the border, right this economy, and fight dysfunction in Washington.”

“The world has become a dangerous place and we need new leadership that understands the importance of America’s role in the world,” said General Don Bolduc, former US Senate candidate and GOP nominee. “Vikram has a broad knowledge and understanding of international affairs, and he knows that our enemies will take advantage if America projects weakness. He will work to restore American strength both at home and abroad.”

Rudy Glocker, founder of Burgeon Outdoor, a small business with operations in Lincoln and Gorham, added: “Inflation continues to wreak havoc on our economy, forcing businesses to cope with not only rising prices, but also fluctuating demand. New Hampshire needs someone in Congress with real world experience who understands how the economy works. Vikram has the knowledge and experience to make an impact in Washington, DC and to advocate for New Hampshire families and small businesses.”

NH House Majority Leader Jason Osborne added that Vikram is quickly uniting the party, saying, “Republicans of all factions are joining Vikram’s campaign. He is clearly the candidate who can unite the party and lead us to victory in the Second Congressional District. We need a conservative outsider with real world experience to fix the mess in DC.”
