Romney picks up his first endorsement of state senator
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney picked up the endorsement of a New Hampshire state senator representing a key geographical area in the state's presidential primary next year.
State Senator Bob Letourneau, of Derry, is the first New Hampshire state senator to endorse Romney.
On Tuesday Letourneau hosted a Romney debate watch party.
Derry is on Interstate 93, just a few miles above the Massachusetts border. The population in Derry, as in much of Southern New Hampshire, has swelled in recent years. Historically statewide campaigns look to Derry on Election Night as a gauge to see how results are turning out. The voting population there is mainly a mix of Republicans and independents.
