HORN TO CLEGG: BROKEN CONGRESS RESULT OF PROFESSIONAL POLITICIANS, NOT EDUCATION
229 House Members Are Former State Legislators

NASHUA – Jennifer Horn, Republican candidate for Congress, demonstrated why she is the best choice for voters on September 9th at the WMUR/Union Leader debate.

Jennifer Horn: “In his commercials, Bob Clegg says ‘114 members of Congress have master's degrees, 23 have Ph.D.s and 240 are lawyers.  If they’re so smart, how come they can't balance the budget?’  The answer is obvious - and it has nothing to do with education - it has to do with the type of person we send to congress.  229 members of Congress are former state legislators.  That means over 50% of those serving in Congress are professional politicians.  The real reason we can’t solve these problems is that we keep sending deal-making, professional politicians like Bob Clegg who offers more of the same.”
