Kevin Smith Joins Republican Candidates For Breakfast

A Republican candidate is making another stop at a popular Amherst restaraunt to pitch his campaign to voters.

Gubernatorial candidate Kevin Smith will be speaking at Joey's Diner in Amherst on Saturday, Aug. 4 at 8 a.m. He will be joined by candidate for CD2 US Congress Dennis Lamare, candidate for Hillsborough County Sheriff Jim Hardy, and all of the Amherst Republican state representative candidates.

He is up against fellow Republicans Ovide Lamontagne and Robert Tarr, the nominee facing off against one of the democratic nominees: Jackie Cilley, Maggie Hassan or Bill Kennedy.

Smith is the former executive director of Cornerstone Action, a conservative think tank in New Hampshire that is focused on preserving traditional values, limited government, and free markets.

He recently told the Nashua Telegraph that he wants to lower the tax burden on the state's businesses and stimulate job growth. In his focus to bring jobs to The Granite State, he has repeatedly said that he wants to "and be the Mass. Governer Deval Patrick's "worst nightmare."
