State Sen. Bob Clegg (R-Hudson) has begun what his campaign calls "energy week."

Throughout the week, Clegg's campaign will be running ads on Drudge Report, showing web videos on energy, posting guest blogs on the campaign website and discussing energy issues at campaign events.

"Paul Hodes has done nothing in Congress to help us through this very difficult time of high gas prices and an unknown energy future. After a series of saying ‘no' Paul Hodes, along with his Pelosi colleagues, said ‘YES' to a summer vacation refusing to even consider the plight of the folks back home," the Hudson Republican said in a press release. "They don't think we deserve even a discussion on possible solutions."

Clegg is running in the Republican primary in the 2nd Congressional District against Jennifer Horn (R-Nashua), Jim Steiner (R-Concord) and Grant Bosse (R-Hillsboro).

"I'm pleased to see Bob Clegg finally talking about energy policy," Bosse said in a press release. "It's a major expense for American families, and our current Congress would rather shut down for a month than hold an open vote on increasing our domestic oil reserves."
