Ambassador John Bolton Makes Additional Endorsements In New Hampshire

WASHINGTON, Sept. 11, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Ambassador John Bolton returns to New Hampshire and endorses former U.S. Rep. Frank Guinta and New Hampshire state Rep. Marilinda Garcia for U.S. Congress. Both candidates also receive a maximum contribution from the John Bolton PAC. Guinta and Marilinda won their respective primary elections on September 9 and are running against Democrat incumbents to represent New Hampshire's 1st and 4th Congressional districts. The Republican National Committee has named Garcia a rising star, and Guinta previously represented the 1st District in Congress.

"There is a lot of opportunity for the GOP in New Hampshire," Bolton said. "Frank and Marilinda are both great candidates and, along with Scott Brown, the right leaders to represent New Hampshire in Washington."

Further statements on each candidate:

Bolton on Guinta: "Formerly the mayor of Manchester, an alderman, a state representative and a Congressman, Frank's experience is unparalleled. Importantly, he also believes America needs to stay focused and strategic regarding national security policy and threats from abroad."

Bolton on Garcia: "Marilinda has the energy and vision to see though the change that is needed in Washington, and she represents the future of the GOP. Marilinda has proven herself to be a leader in the New Hampshire House, and I know she believes strongly in national security policy as it relates to immigration and relations with Israel."

Bolton is committed to supporting candidates for elected office who believe in protecting American freedoms by securing U.S. interests in a challenging world. The John Bolton PAC and the John Bolton Super PAC have raised more than $5 million to date with nearly $3 million cash on hand.

Statements from each candidate:

Frank Guinta: "Ambassador Bolton's passion and commitment to the ideals that make our nation great are unquestionable, and I am honored to receive his endorsement today. Under the Administration of President Obama we have careened from one crisis to the next. Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter, who sits on the House Armed Services Committee, has failed to provide Americans with a comprehensive strategy to deal with these crises. New Hampshire deserves a leader who will offer solutions to these problems, and I look forward to discussing these issues with Granite Staters throughout the fall."

Marilinda Garcia: "'I am grateful for the support of Ambassador Bolton in this race.  With several decades of public service experience, Ambassador Bolton has an unparalleled understanding of the foreign threats that are facing America. America deserves leadership in both the White House and in Congress who are capable of identifying threats to America's security and developing a responsible strategy to protect Americans both at home and abroad."
