I am honored to write this recommendation for my colleague, State Representative Brian Cole, as he runs for Congress. After working with Brian in the New Hampshire Legislature, I can say with complete confidence that he is exactly the kind of public servant our state needs representing us in Washington.

Why Brian Cole Stands Apart

In my years involved in New Hampshire politics, I've met many people who talk about public service. Brian actually lives it. When we're debating legislation late into the evening, Brian is the one asking the hard questions about how a bill will actually affect working families. When others are focused on political optics, Brian is focused on getting the policy right.

A Legislator Who Does the Work

What impresses me most about Brian is his thoroughness. He doesn't just read the bills, he studies them. He doesn't just listen to lobbyists, he talks to the people who will be affected by the legislation. I've seen him spend hours researching the background of complex issues, reaching out to experts, and making sure he understands all sides before casting a vote.

This attention to detail has made him one of the most effective members of our delegation. When Brian speaks on the House floor, people listen, not because he's the loudest voice in the room, but because his colleagues know he's done his homework and his insights are worth hearing.

Character That Matters

Here's what you won't see in any campaign brochure but what matters most: Brian Cole is the same person in private as he is in public. He doesn't change his positions based on which group he's talking to. When he gives you his word, you can count on it. In an era when trust in politicians is at an all-time low, that kind of integrity is rare and precious.

I've seen him work with Republicans and Democrats alike, not because he lacks principles, but because he understands that good ideas can come from anywhere. He's proven that you can be principled without being rigid, that you can stand firm on your values while still finding ways to work with others.

What New Hampshire Needs in Congress

Our state has always valued independence and practical problem-solving over partisan politics. Brian embodies these New Hampshire values. He understands that representing our state in Congress means being a voice for all of New Hampshire... not just those who voted for him.

Brian knows our communities because he's lived in them. He understands our economy because he's worked in it. He gets our values because he shares them. At the same time, he has the policy knowledge and legislative experience to be effective from day one in Washington.

My Personal Endorsement

I don't write letters like this lightly. In fact, this is the first time I've written a formal recommendation for another candidate's campaign. But Brian Cole has earned my respect and my support through his years of dedicated service to our state. If you're looking for someone who will go to Washington and make a difference, not just make noise, Brian Cole is your candidate. If you want a representative who will work as hard for you as he has worked for New Hampshire, Brian has proven he will deliver.

Our state and our country need more people like Brian Cole in positions of leadership. I am proud to support his candidacy and confident that he will serve New Hampshire with the same dedication and integrity he has shown throughout his legislative career.

Sincerely,

Lori Korzen
State Representative
Coös County District 7
