[Mil Times] Now Bolduc, 57, wants to add U.S. senator to his growing list of accomplishments, announcing his run for Senate on Monday to represent his home state of New Hampshire.Bolduc, who will run as a Republican, held an event in Concord, New Hampshire, on Monday to formally announce his candidacy to oust Democrat Jeanne Shaheen from her Senate seat.
Republicans view this race as one of their best chances to take a Democratic Senate seat in the 2020 election.
Saying on Twitter that he is "anything but a politician," Bolduc sees a problem in Washington D.C. that he wants to have a hand in rectifying. "I am ticked off by the partisan mindset on display in Washington ‐ a politics-first attitude that is blocking solutions to real-life issues that affect each of us and our families," Bolduc said in a tweet.
Bolduc’s goal is to refocus the leadership in Washington and give back power to the communities being represented in the nations capital. "My approach to politics is completely focused on the crisis of leadership in Washington D.C." Bolduc said.
This mindset led to Bolduc’s campaign motto: "Service above self. People over politics. Always." And the goal to bring "servant leadership, personal responsibility and a dedication to our core values" back to Washington.
