Entrepreneur from Lincoln to launch CD-2 campaign
ISSUES HE WANTS TO TAKE TO CONGRESS. VIKRAM ARMANI IS BACK AND IN SOME WAYS, HE NEVER LEFT. THE 2022 REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR U.S. SENATE REMAINED DILIGENTLY CONNECTED WITH GOP AND CONSERVATIVE GROUPS OVER THE LAST 18 MONTHS, AND AS HE OFFICIALLY EMBARKS ON A CAMPAIGN FOR CONGRESS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE’S SECOND DISTRICT, HE SAYS HE’S ALREADY IN TOUCH WITH THE CONCERNS OF THE VOTERS FOR THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, I’VE BEEN RUNNING AROUND THE STATE, SERVING IN VARIOUS CAPACITIES, AND I’VE LISTENED TO LOTS OF FAMILIES. THEY ARE CRYING OUT FOR HELP. PEOPLE WANT CHANGE. THEY’RE DONE WITH THE OLD WASHINGTON, D.C. BUREAUCRACY. ARMANI SAYS HIS TOP TWO ISSUES ARE FIGHTING INFLATION AND ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION.

AN ADDITIONAL GOP CANDIDATES COULD ENTER THE RACE AS WELL, INCLUDING 2022 CD TWO NOMINEE AND FORMER KEENE MAYOR GEORGE HANSEL MOUNT ARARAT. HE SAYS HE’S THE POLITICAL OUTSIDER IN THIS RACE, COMING UP WITH SOLUTIONS, BEING PRACTICAL. THAT I THINK IS WHAT WE NEED. SO AN OUTSIDER, A VOICE OF REASON, SOMEONE WHO IS REASONABLE, WHO CAN SEE THE BIG PICTURE. ARMANI BACKED NIKKI HALEY IN THE FIRST IN THE NATION PRIMARY, BUT HE SAYS HE’S PERFECTLY COMFORTABLE SHARING A REPUBLICAN TICKET WITH FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP, ESPECIALLY AGAINST THE DEMOCRATS. YES. LOOK, I THINK AS I JUST SAID, I AM A CAPITALIST. I AM SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES ABSOLUTE IN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY. I THINK THAT IS A REALLY STARK CONTRAST, EQUAL OPPORTUNITY VERSUS EQU
