Washington, DC – Former Senator Rick Santorum (R-PA) announced today three additional members who have joined America’s Foundation’s Advisory Committee in New Hampshire. Jim Finnegan, Elaine Kindler and Sue Carroll have come on board to help inform Senator Santorum and America’s Foundation about the concerns and issues important to New Hampshire families.

Jim Finnegan was a longtime Editorial Page Director and Chief Editorial Writer for the Union Leader.  He was well-known for his straightforward approach to covering the news and his forthright editorials about the issues of the day.  A Pennsylvania native, Finnegan attended Hershey Junior College and Boston University and then went on to broadcast news on local radio. In 1957, Finnegan moved to New Hampshire and started at the Union Leader where he would stay until his retirement in 1995.  After his retirement, Finnegan volunteered on Pat Buchanan’s presidential campaign in 1996.

“What a great addition Jim is to our team in New Hampshire.  Jim’s intimate knowledge of the issues important to New Hampshire voters will be invaluable to our organization, and I look forward to many candid discussions with him over the months ahead,” said Senator Santorum.

“I have followed Senator Santorum for many years, and have long respected his passionate, conservative views.  All too often, politicians back down when the going gets tough, but not Rick Santorum,” said Jim Finnegan.  “Senator Santorum epitomizes youth, intelligence and high principle at a time when many people are searching for those attributes in our country’s leaders. I look forward to being a part of his team as he considers a run for president.”
 
In addition to Jim Finnegan, Sue Carroll and Elaine Kindler have agreed to serve on America’s Foundation’s New Hampshire Advisory Committee. Carroll, a Tea Party activist who currently serves as the Atkinson GOP Chairwoman, will serve on America’s Foundation’s Tea Party/Taxpayer Advisory Committee. Kindler is a pro-life/pro-family activist who is active in the faith based community.  She will serve on the PAC’s Pro-life/Pro-family Advisory Committee.
 
Over the last several weeks, Senator Santorum announced that former Manchester GOP Chair Jerry Thibodeau, State Representative Daniel Tamburello, former Manchester Alderman At-Large Richard Girard, St. Anselm college student Brock Weber, and business owners Charlie and Laura Morgan are also part of the Advisory Committee for America’s Foundation in New Hampshire.  Additional Advisory Committee Members will be announced in the coming weeks and months.
