I will do the same for you.”Bolduc served in the U.S. Army for 32 years, retiring on Oct. 2, 2017, according to his campaign.

He is facing off in a Republican primary against attorney Bryant “Corky” Messner, who has owned a home in Wolfeboro for about 12 years and has been a resident of the town for about three years. Also running in the GOP primary are Andy Martin and Gerard Beloin.The primary winner will take on Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen in the general election. She's running for a third six-year term.Messner, who is largely self-funding his campaign, has aired three ads on television, while Shaheen has aired four.President Donald Trump’s endorsement of Messner in June, and the resulting move by the Trump Victory organization to become involved in the primary on Messner’s behalf, has raised Bolduc’s ire. But he has not criticized Trump directly and he says he strongly supports the president.
