Representative Bergiven is a former supporter of Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) and Representative Smith is a former supporter of Herman Cain.

Rick Santorum said: "As the momentum of our campaign continues to build, I am excited to welcome the support of this esteemed group of New Hampshire leaders. Each of these leaders understand that America is more than just a plot of land, but a moral enterprise that revolutionized the world and must be maintained. As President, I am committed to doing just that, and working to build a better tomorrow for our children and grandchildren. I look forward to building on our momentum from Iowa to again defy expectations in New Hampshire."

The endorsements by State Representatives Bergiven, Condra, Moore, Palmer, and Smith are the latest in a string of prominent New Hampshire leaders to join the fight with the Santorum campaign.
