Former Trump administration aide Karoline Leavitt has officially launched a Congressional campaign for New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional district. Leavitt previously served as assistant press secretary for former President Donald Trump and then as communications chief for House GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik.
The Washington Examiner reports:
“Everywhere you look, conservatives, myself included, are being censored and silenced, and our freedoms to speak freely, think independently, bear arms, go to church, and operate our own businesses are being infringed by radical Democrats,” Leavitt said in a video announcing her campaign.
“Here in the ‘Live Free or Die’ State, we take our freedoms very seriously, and we need a bold, energetic fighter to serve as a firewall between we the people and those who want to destroy our way of life,” she added.
Leavitt is running on an “America First” platform while indicating she is an ardent supporter of Trump.
“I will be an ‘America First’ warrior in this race,” Leavitt told Fox News, adding that she hopes “Trump runs again in 2024 so that we can continue advancing the ‘America First’ agenda.”
