John DiStaso hunched in the chair of his office, squinting into the dim middle air above the empty take out boxes of chinese food. The sunset light flared on a picture. Memories washed up like cold Atlantic waves, dragging him back . . . to her.
Former business executive and 2010 candidate for the U.S. Senate Carly Fiorina will bring her “Unlocking Potential” project to New Hampshire on Thursday, July 24.
Fiorina will appear at a free morning grassroots event at the Grappone Conference Center in Concord with Republican state Sens. Jeanie Forrester, Sharon Carson and Nancy Stiles.
Fiorina launched the “UP” project in late June and has New Hampshire on the PAC’s list of six U.S. Senate races she views as competitive, where she feels the grassroots organizing of women could make a difference.
The event is particularly noteworthy in view of this week’s NBCNews/Marist poll showing that Scott Brown, who has primary opposition from Bob Smith and Jim Rubens, faces a 25 percentage point deficit among New Hampshire women versus Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
Fiorina has said her goal is to mobilize Republican and conservative women to counter the Democratic charges that the GOP is conducting a “war on women.”
