Timothy Horrigan, August 5, 2008
[August
5, 2008] Many of you who visit this page are here because you are
Googling for pictures
of Presidential candidates. Those pictures are still on the
website: however, with the exception of the Barack Obama picture,
they
are on a different page. Or strictly speaking, it's the same
page but I renamed
it. The new URL is:
(Speaking of Google, those Google AdWords/AdSense placements you see above and below are auctioned off by Google to the highest bidder. The highest bidders are not necessarily anyone/anything I endorse. It doesn't matter unless you click on them, since I— and Google— don't get paid unless someone clicks on them.)
I
have had a 2008
Presidential Election page up since 2005. At first its title was
"Anyone
But Jeb," and even after Jeb
Bush dropped out of the 2008
Presidential race (or more accurately
failed to enter the
race in the first place), I had a
few paragraphs making fun of him. The 2008
Presidential Election page has links to
a wide variety of information about the Presidential
candidates, and if you
want to see it, please click on one
of the many links provided on this
page. The new
URL for the 2008
Presidential Election page is:
I am a candidate for office myself, so I decided that I should use http://www.TimothyHorrigan.com/election2008.html to promote my own candidacy for the New Hampshire State House of Representatives. I am running from the Strafford County District #7 as a Democrat. This six-member district consists of the towns of Durham, Lee and Madbury, and I am running alongside 5 veteran state reps. (The 6th one, Dr. Joe Miller, retired.)
I will likely be one of four Columbia College alumni on the ticket: Barack Obama '83 is running for President— and Wayne Root '83 and Matt Gonzales '87 are running for Vice President. I advise you to start from the bottom of the ballot up, and although Gonzales and Root are both great guys, please do not vote for them. I will be in the middle of the ticket, just above the county offices.
I am a liberal Democrat, but I am one of those liberal Democrats who believes that the liberalism is the truest form of conservatism. This is the third time I have had the chance to run. In 1992 I could have run from Orford, which at the time was a very Republican town. (I would have had to quit my day job, because I was a federal government employee at the time. And, I would have almost certainly lost, although Orford did elect Arnie Arnesen to several terms.) In 2000, I could have run from Lebanon (which is a "purple" town), but I opted not to. This time, I had no excuse.

Timothy Horrigan for NH State Representative Strafford County District 7; Durham, Lee & Madbury
My name is Tim Horrigan. I am running as a Democrat for the open seat in the New Hampshire General Court for Durham, Lee and Madbury. Some of my priorities as a candidate are:
My background is: I moved to Durham when I was 10 and have lived in New Hampshire most of my life. I attended the Oyster River Schools before graduating from Columbia University and the University of Southern California, earning masters degrees in English and Marketing. I have spent most of my career in information technology. During the current election cycle, I have volunteered for the Edwards campaign, Democracy for America and MoveOn.org. If elected, I would be carrying on a family tradition: my father Jim Horrigan represented this district for several terms in the 1970s.
