Bradley itches towards run

Former U.S. Rep. Jeb Bradley (R-NH) has established a political action committee for the senate district three special election.

Bradley has not publicly declared that he is running but establishing a PAC could show that Bradley intends to run.

The PAC, titled “Friends of Jeb Bradley for State Senate,” is chaired by Bradley and Republican activist Eugene Leone Jr. is the treasurer.

Democrat Bud Martin officially entered the race on Monday. Martin ran in 2008 but lost to Bill Denley, who resigned the seat after being charged with drunk driving.

If there is no primary the election will take place on April 21st, but if there is a primary challenge on either side of the aisle the primary will take place on April 21st and the general election will be on May 26th.

Judd Gregg Not So Reveal-ing About Donor Info

Funny thing about being named to a cabinet post on your own terms - it tends to make folks take a closer look at you and your past. Mark Nickolas did some yeoman's work with FEC reports and came up with a real doozy.  Move over, CrabGate:
Specifically, did Gregg deliberately conceal nearly a dozen contributors to his leadership PAC -- White Mountain PAC -- at the very time he served as chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security after it awarded many millions of dollars in TSA contracts for airport security equipment to those same donors?

...During June and July 2005, as Gregg's subcommittee was dealing specifically with how to allocate the billions in homeland security funding for projects -- like the ones Reveal was seeking -- Gregg began meeting with and taking contributions from the company's top officers and lobbyists for his leadership PAC, just as Rogers had been rounded criticized for at the time.
