The first-in-the-nation presidential primary is in full swing in New Hampshire. Governor Jon Huntsman just finished up a five-day swing through the Granite State and met ONE members along the way.

I spoke with him at the home of Bobbie and Jarvis Coffin in Hancock. He spoke with ONE members at the 2008 RNC National Convention and we wanted to reintroduce him to ONE. I was able to chat with him about our founder, Bono, and told him that we are most concerned with saving lives in poor countries around the world.

He told me he was good friends with Bono and that we should keep up the great work. Tom Leary spoke with him later in the day at the VFW in Concord. Tom thanked him for remarks he made recently during a commencement speech at the University of South Carolina:

“The prospect for breakthroughs for conquering human disease, lifting the poor from desperation and bringing about greater world peace. Those are challenges worth your efforts.”

A few days later, Mike Castaldo chatted with him at a house party in Durham and further showed that in NH the ONE members are everywhere!

We look forward to Gov. Huntsman and other potential 2012 candidates traveling to NH to meet ONE volunteers and continue the conversation about saving lives around the world.

And be sure to connect with other New Hampshire ONE members on Facebook and Twitter.
