Tom Eaton announces bid to reclaim seat in state Senate
By Megan Stewart, Politicker.com ReporterFormer state Senate President Tom Eaton (R-Keene) has decided to try to reclaim his former seat in New Hampshire's 10th state Senate district.
Eaton was unseated by state Sen. Molly Kelly (D-Keene) two years ago by slightly more than 4,000 votes. In a statement issued this afternoon, he promised to deliver a balanced budget and cited Kelly's fiscal policies as a key reason why he decided to make a bid for her seat.
"Two years ago Molly Kelly ran on the promise of fiscal responsibility," said Eaton. "But when she got to Concord she voted for a 17% budget increase and more than a dozen tax and fee increases."
Eaton flaunted his own experience working to craft the state's budget, while supporting measures to decrease government spending, which he considers to be "simply irresponsible."
