AMHERST- State Sen. Bob Clegg (R-Hudson) says his congressional campaign is gaining momentum.

"I feel good, I feel that we've made great strides in a lot of different places, especially in the northern part of the district," Clegg told PolitickerNH.com.

Clegg said supporters have been requesting 4-by-8 signs. Last week a supporter took 20 signs, he said, and promised he would send him a picture whenever a sign went up.

"I think we're getting more-and-more people calling and asking for signs absolutely," he said. "We're at the point where we've had to hire two more people just to do signs."

Clegg says that he is looking to do well in the southern part of the district.

"I'm hoping I do well in my hometown, Nashua of course because I grew-up there, Hudson," he said. "I'm hoping to do well in the southern tier where I've done a lot of business but I'm also looking to do well in the northern part too."

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