Business Leaders Across New Hampshire Back Governor Kelly Ayotte

NASHUA, N.H. — Last week, the Ayotte campaign launched its Business Leaders for Kelly Coalition, with 60 Granite State business leaders highlighting their support for Governor Kelly Ayotte’s leadership in protecting the New Hampshire Advantage, strengthening the state’s economy, and making New Hampshire the best place in the nation to live, work, and raise a family.

The coalition brings together business owners and leaders from industries across the Granite State who recognize Governor Ayotte’s commitment to keeping taxes low, cutting red tape, lowering energy costs, expanding housing opportunities, and strengthening New Hampshire’s workforce.

“Governor Ayotte understands that when small businesses succeed, our entire state succeeds. She has been a strong partner to New Hampshire businesses, working to lower energy costs, expand our housing supply, and strengthen our workforce so businesses have the resources and opportunities they need to grow,” said Al Letizio, Jr., AJ Letizio Enterprises. “Her leadership is helping protect what makes New Hampshire such a special place to live, work, and raise a family.”

“Governor Ayotte has worked tirelessly to protect and expand the New Hampshire Advantage by keeping taxes low, cutting red tape, and working closely with the business community,” said Andy Crews, Crews Holdings. “Her focus on helping businesses grow, invest, and create good-paying jobs reflects her commitment to keeping New Hampshire the best state in the nation to own and operate a business.”
