Gallego speaks at Politics & Eggs event in New Hampshire

COURSE CORRECT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. RUBEN GALLEGO RETURNED TO NEW HAMPSHIRE FOR POLITICS AND EGGS BEFORE THE NEW ENGLAND COUNCIL FRIDAY. IN COLLEGE, HE CAME TO THE GRANITE STATE ON A REGULAR BASIS TO FULFILL HIS DUTIES SERVING IN THE MARINE CORPS. WELL, THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

IT’S ALSO A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO HAVE A REUNION ON THE PHOTO LINE I RAN INTO ANOTHER MARINE I SERVED WITH ALMOST 24 YEARS AGO HERE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE WITH BRAVO 125.

BUT ARE YOU INTERESTED IN RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT SOMEDAY? YOU KNOW, IT’S IT’S HARD AT THIS POINT. I DON’T THINK SO. YOU KNOW, I HAVE THREE LITTLE KIDS. I LOVE THE WORK I’M DOING. I ALSO LOVE TO SPEND TIME WITH MY KIDS, BUT I DO HAVE A MESSAGE THAT I WANT THE DEMOCRATS TO LISTEN TO WHOEVER IS RUNNING, BECAUSE I THINK IT’
