Moderate GOP backs Bradley in US House primary
MANCHESTER, N.H. -- A moderate Republican group headed-up by a former New Hampshire Congressman announced they plan to back former US Representative Jeb Bradley after news this week that Bradley will face a primary challenge as he tries to win back his old seat in New Hampshire's First Congressional District.
The Republican Main Street Partnership is currently headed up by Charles Bass, who served with Bradley as the two New Hampshire members of the house from 2003 to 2007.
On Tuesday the former head of the state's Health and Human Services, John Stephen, announced he would challenge Bradley in a primary for the right to take on freshman Democratic Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter. Shea-Porter defeated Bradley 51 percent to 49 percent last year.
