"New Hampshire voters have had the opportunity, at town hall meetings across the state, to learn first-hand where John McCain stands on the issues that are important them," said J. Bonnie Newman, a former Reagan Administration official. "John McCain stood before them and told them the truth about what he believes. Time and again, he has proven that his campaign for president is about serving a cause greater than his own self interest, and is based on his unmatched leadership experience, integrity and distinguished lifetime of service. New Hampshire voters have given John McCain a second look and I am confident that this Tuesday, we will elect him as the Republican nominee."

John McCain expressed his appreciation for the growing show of support, stating, "I am grateful to have the backing of so many leaders in New Hampshire. Their support is critical as we surge to victory in the New Hampshire Primary."
