Former Selectman, Other Locals to Attend GOP Business Luncheon

A private fundraiser hosted by U.S. Sens. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) and Rob Portman (R-Ohio) will take place at the Tuscan Kitchen in Salem next week.

Co-hosting the event will be former Windham Selectman Bruce Breton, who now serves as chairman of the Windham Republican Town Committee and member of the Windham Economic Development Committee.

Other notables include former gubernatorial candidates John Stephen and Kevin Smith as well as state Sen. Chuck Morse (R-Salem)

Tickets for the planned business luncheon are available for $250 each on the New Hampshire Republican Party website. The event will take place on June 14 from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.

Portman will be in New Hampshire the same weekend to participate in the American Politics panel as part of a weekend of events in Hanover at the 35th anniversary of the Dartmouth College Class of '78.

After reaching out to Ayotte to offer help for the party, she suggested a fundraiser for the NHGOP.

NHGOP Chairwoman Jennifer Horn issued a statement on Portman's appearance:

Senator Portman has been a leader in the fight to promote pro-growth policies that will create jobs and restore fiscal discipline to Washington. We are very pleased that he has agreed to help our party raise the resources that we need to elect responsible Republicans in 2014 who will help control spending, reduce taxes and limit government.
