"Welcome aboard"
Guinta, a 1st Congressional District Republican candidate, got a big lift last week with longtime GOP communications consultant Alicia Preston joining the campaign.
Preston's credits include working as communications director for Craig Benson, a Republican who became governor; for New York Gov. George Pataki's presidential exploratory campaign in 2007; and on the campaign team of former Congressman Jeb Bradley a year later.
"I am very happy that Alicia has agreed to join our effort," Guinta said in a statement. "I first worked with Alicia on my successful 2005 race for Manchester mayor, so I know firsthand just how important she will be to our team.
"Alicia brings a wealth of experience, having worked on several Congressional races and she is very well respected in her industry."

Frank Guinta continues to build a grassroots organization with the release later today of the names of 50 more supporters, including former state Sen. Dick Danais, former Belknap County Commissioner and well-known marina owner Mark Thurston, state Rep. John Gleason of Derry and conservative activist Ellen Kolb of Merrimack. The campaign says it now has 450 "county co-captains."
Attorneys across the district have also received a fund-raising letter on behalf of Guinta written by prominent attorneys Robert Dastin, Susan Duprey and Jack Middleton.
Their two-page letter praises "our friend, Frank Guinta," and calls incumbent Democrat Carol Shea-Porter "a loyal foot-soldier for Nancy Pelosi."

DOVER — City resident and former Republican state senate candidate Eddie Edwards is joining Congressman-elect Frank Guinta’s staff.
Edwards will serve as Guinta’s director of community relations, a position that involves public outreach and planning. Job duties also include working with small businesses and nonprofits and coordinating on Homeland Security issues, according to a news release.
Edwards, 46, is the former South Hampton police chief. He also served as Director of the New Hampshire State Liquor Enforcement Division.
“I am certainly happy to be working with someone who I respect, admire and consider a friend,” Edwards said Monday in a phone interview. “Serving the state of New Hampshire has always been a passion of mine and I am happy to do that in a role where I can do community engagement and work with business owners and nonprofits on behalf of Frank Guinta.”
Guinta, who served one term in Congress from 2010 to 2012, defeated Democratic U.S. Rep. Carol Shea-Porter in November. He will be sworn in January 6, 2015.
Edwards ran for N.H. Senate in District 4, which includes Dover, Somersworth, Barrington and Rollinsford. He lost to incumbent Democrat David Watters.
