About Me

---

I am Brian Cole, and I am running for Congress because our state is being ignored by Washington. I won’t stand by while the values that shaped me independence, hard work, and a deep sense of community are undermined. I am a devoted lifelong Granite Stater, and I've built my career on integrity and always putting people first. It's time to bring that focus and fight to Washington. 

Raised in a law enforcement family my father served as both a State Trooper and Park Ranger I learned early the importance of protecting what matters and standing firm in the face of challenges. For over 25 years, Manchester’s Ward 7 has been my home.

For more than two decades, I’ve been the CEO of JC International, a wholesale distributor and importer/exporter that I built from the ground up. I know what it takes to manage payrolls, create jobs, and battle the same rising costs and crushing red tape that you face every day. My degrees in Economics, Finance, and Accounting from Southern New Hampshire University aren't just pieces of paper; they are the tools I use to turn real world experience into real results.

That same practical, common sense approach guides my work as a State Representative. In Concord, where I serve as Vice Chair of the Housing Committee, tackling the core issues of housing affordability and regulations. As a member of the Ways and Means Committee, my focus is simple: keeping New Hampshire affordable for our families and small businesses.
