On Saturday, Gov. Huckabee campaigned in New Hampshire. He started his day bright and early with a fun run in Durham, NH, where ONE member Andrea joined him, running in her ONE shirt. She told me that Gov. Huckabee immediately commented on ONE, and a photo of them ran on the front page of Foster’s Daily Democrat, a NH newspaper, on Sunday.
But Gov. Huckabee ran into ONE again on Saturday night when ONE members Carly and Rachel attended a house party in Amherst, NH. Carly wrote me:
“It went pretty well the other night at the Huckabee house party! We shook Gov. Huckabee’s hand and thanked him for supporting the ONE Campaign. You could tell when he saw our shirts that he knew immediately where we were from and what we wanted. It was great! Not only that, but we talked to many other people at the party about ONE, what the ONE Campaign is trying to do, and gave them some bands. All in all, I’d say it was successful!”
Here in the Granite State, you never know where you will run into a presidential candidate, and you never know where you will run into, or in this case with, ONE!
