Former Speaker of the House William O’Brien announced his endorsement for Dave Wheeler for Executive Council from District 5. He released the following statement.
“I am proud to endorse Dave Wheeler for the District 5 Executive Council seat,” Speaker O’Brien said. “There is vital work to be done next session for the citizens of New Hampshire, and Dave is the man for the job. With state tax revenue cratering, there will be tough decisions to make on the Council, and I fully trust Dave Wheeler to make those choices to benefit Granite Staters.”
“Since the 2018 election, we have seen nothing but partisan politicking and self-aggrandizing democrats that accomplish nothing for our state,” O’Brien continued. “Granite Staters deserve a government that works for them, that fights for them. Dave Wheeler will do just that.”
“We can, and must, oust elected officials that seek only to preserve their power and control our citizens,” O’Brien added.
“Dave is the embodiment of a civil servant, ready and willing to put in the work for what is best for his constituents and New Hampshire as a whole,” said O’Brien. “Wheeler on the Executive Council is just what District 5 needs – a principled conservative who isn’t controlled by big money lobbying efforts or union bosses.”
“My vote will be cast for Dave Wheeler this election. I strongly encourage the voters in District 5 to join me in returning Dave to the Executive Council, where he will fight for all of us,” O’Brien concluded.
